Pros

The work life balance is incredible. This was my first role out of college and it's certainly going to be a high bar to surpass. Every manager I had cared so much about each teammate, their personal and professional development, and were all über nice. I love my team and I love the company. And from what I can tell, most others feel the same. It's easy to jump teams, it's easy to change your role, it's easy to not do your work and not be reprimanded...It's no wonder there are so many "boomerangs" and I intend to be one too. It's a no brainer that Autodesk makes cool stuff. We've all drank the Kool-Aid and we're proud of it.

Cons

As a recent graduate, it's easy to get complacent and lose momentum in your career within this company. Everyone is remote, most people in the company are a bit on the older side, and people are too nice for fear of being perceived as which makes it hard to get anything of substance done. Honestly, Andrew Anagnost is probably one of the more controversial figures in the company and I think we all love him still. TLDR; we often move too slow.

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.
