Pros

We offer employees meaningful work at a fair wage, customers solutions that include the latest in technology, and investors a reasonable return on their investment. The key reason most employees work at Autodesk relates to purpose. Our software helps our customers design and make a better world for all. Our efforts can have real impact on the world.

Cons

We have a tendency to use consensus decision-making which can be slow. As such, we are moving towards a process where we identify who decision-makers are, engage in debate, and then support the decision even if it is a different one than we would have made.

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.
