Pros

One of the best companies to be employed by. A large corporation with lot's of different teams in different locations all of which have their own ways of working. Toronto office has a great culture, people of all different ages, great social events, lot's of talented people working together. The company has great health benefits, stock purchase plan, RRSP matching and a very nice office including showers and bike room!

Cons

Just as in any large company there's a lot of noise at the managerial level and it can be hard to navigate the agenda du jour, but individual contributors rarely have to deal with any of the politics. Sometimes business decisions being made don't seem to make sense from your stand point and the trickling down of communications from VP to producer level isn't always the greatest but great work and innovation still gets done all around.

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.
