Pros

- Great Culture - Dynamic - Winners - Creative - Mega talented staff - Great offices - Great compensation package (Many companies in the recession are cutting benefits, Autodesk have paid annual bonus and maintained full benefits package. Much credibility to them). - Going into new markets eg Consumer is exciting

Cons

- Few outside of the industry have heard of the Autodesk brand or name. This is very frustrating as its a hidden gem of a company. Great to work for and its products help design most of the world around us, be it cars, planes, building, bridges, visual effects in films (eg Avatar, Inception, Lord of the Rings), and most of the videogames today. Very cool but very unknown.

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.
