Pros

If you like politics and bro culture, this is the place for you.

Cons

I worked in this hell because they bought our startup and had to wait for them to vest. No career path in the ACS division, we all know the sales team will get diluted and channel parters will take the jobs. That’s what Autodesk does best. Buy startups and spit out the people working in them in small increments so they never make the news. The culture is bad, as they like to talk about diversity but don’t higher them cause apparently management doesn’t know how to interview them. Fact ! Comment I got when asked. I finally quit, and the HR proved me right that this company doesn’t care. Kati, worst HR . Who kept on getting defensive when I was trying to explain my side and why I quit. Sexism and no ownership of the management. If they are not hitting their target, they will though you under the bus. If you are reading this and on the fence of quitting, do it now. It’s scary but it’s not worth your mental health.

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.
