Pros

Smart, dedicated people. Direct managers care, or at most seem to. Above average benefits for the industry. Smart people. Great opportunity to advance to middle management. Above average work life balance. It would be the ideal place to work if not...

Cons

The people at the helm will gut engineering departments and replace them with engineers in Bangalore and/or Shanghai, or fresh out of school, to meet the bottom line and appease Wall Street. They've done it before, they'll do it again. Beware. If this company didn't own the DWG format they would have died decades ago. AutoCAD profit has allowed them to buy their way into other industries, and gobble up competition, and then over time release those engineers and replace them with cheaper talent either overseas or right from school. They have done this time and time again. It's a modern day form of corporate raiding. It is a terrible way to run a business, and it is a reason why they can't grow ANY software in house and have it succeed, outside of Autocad and it's verticals. Virtually all successful products beyond these have been ACQUIRED, and of those products, at least 50% of the engineers are gone within 5 years. It's sad, really.
