Pros
Strong benefits package Flexible hours and remote work options
Cons
Highly siloed teams with poor cross-department collaboration. Weak work/life balance, long hours often expected, but then the extra hours put in are not appreciated. Promotions are driven more by connections than performance. Outdated, overly complex software products that are difficult to modernize or maintain. Layoffs occur regularly, yet similar roles are soon re-posted and filled. Heavy spending on management, admin, and sales rather than product development. Products are outdated and mostly in maintenance mode, yet still sold at outrageously high prices. Subscription model locks customers in and customers are left with nothing if they stop paying. Work often feels more valued by customers than by Autodesk’s own management team. Software is buggy, but the development team is too small to properly fix issues and instead focuses on adding or removing features or making cosmetic changes. Bloated management, with insufficient focus on developers to create the best products.
