Pluspunten

Nice offices. Some smart people. Fun internal and customer events. There are some good middle managers who look out for you and want to do great work. Autodesk has a monopoly in their industry so they spend money on lots of random things that make the environment and company feel plush. Good place to do individual work but you do not want to be in management, or try to learn it there.

Minpunten

The politics are sharky----upper managers and the exec team are more focused on looking good than delivering value. The marketing-background CEO got his job by selling Wall Street a cloud and construction industry story that pumped up the stock price. The culture of looking good vs. doing good permeates. Autodesk does not innovate, it grows entirely through acquisition. Acquired teams leave quickly or are shown the door. Comically, the CEO of Autodesk's biggest acquisition ever left in a year and on her LinkedIn claims she was the "VP of Nothing".

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
