Pros

The business is adjusting well with the many changes that have occurred over the last couple years (new CEO, new c-staff). There are so many changes in motion but overall it’s exactly the direction that’s needed for Autodesk continue to change to meet the needs of our customers.

Cons

With the number of changes, some employees may feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable. We must all learn to find way to continue to evolve - and keep the perspective positive. Better channels of communication are needed.

Pros

The individual contributors, your peers you work with day in and day out are fantastic people! At the IC level, for the most part, it feels like everyone is in the fight together. The work/life balance is good depending on which business unit/team you're aligned with. The benefits are pretty solid, especially the 6 week sabbatical.

Cons

Autodesk moves at the pace of a snail, very slow to take action on anything. Selling is very difficult with all the undocumented approvals, processes, red tape and very few people are willing to actually help! Leadership doesn't care about the people their decisions impact. Feedback is rarely listened to and acted upon. Pay is terrible compared to competitors in this space. Autodesk has embraced a ton of change over the last few years with new marketing, sales and IT leadership and it shows. They are not shy in showing their desire to be the next Oracle at the expense of their people. They are constantly changing tools, processes, people, roles, you name it so you feel like you're under water constantly. Lipstick on a pig.
