Pros

Amazing products and services, minimal number of deadbeats/mediocre people, great benefits, fantastic fiscal position that guarantees the company can survive large shocks - we see to get a lot of them now in 2011, possibilities to grow.

Cons

A bit more conservative than would be necessary, the "politically savy" people that seem to survive any downsizing in favor of more qualified but less politically astute individuals can be annoying - there are lots of people that have been more or less "grandfathered" in due to their long tenure(5, 10 or more years with the company) and some of them fall in the first category I described. There is a sensible gap in quality of people between developed markets(US, Japan, West Europe) and emerging territories where politics may play a bigger role because the overall results from those territories are less important to the overall bottom line of the company and the managers are given a bit more leeway so be prepared in case you may have to deal with that part of the world.

Pros

Autodesk has, hands down, one of the warmest and most supportive corporate cultures I’ve ever experienced. From day one, people were welcoming, respectful, kind, and genuinely available to help. Even as a contract worker, I never felt like an outsider. I felt included, trusted, and treated like part of the team. The marketing team was an incredible group: collaborative, smart, generous with their time, and always willing to answer questions. Autodesk also has a true teaching culture. You never feel silly for asking questions, and there is a clear willingness across teams to help people learn, improve, and succeed. Operationally, the company was also impressively efficient. The technology, meeting tools, scheduling systems, and general workflows made it easy to connect with people, set appointments, collaborate, and keep work moving without unnecessary friction. Overall, Autodesk set the bar for what a healthy corporate culture can feel like: organized, human, respectful, inclusive, and genuinely collaborative. Pros: Warm culture, helpful people, strong tools and technology, respectful teams, inclusive environment, great marketing organization.

Cons

As a contractor, I only wish the experience had been longer.
