Pros

- Great WLB - You trade your time with money - No need to do anything and everything just happens - You need to know politics and no need to be intelligent

Cons

- Reorgs after reogs - Almost monthly layoff patterns, unless you've been with the company for over a decade or two - No one cares about your career growth, and they tell you that you own it yourself. - The lowest compensation in tech - No one delivers or builds anything, and everything is in the maintenance mode - The worst leadership and management - Your spot in the hierarchy matters for visibility and promotion

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.
