Pros

Salary is very competitive, telecommuting flexibility

Cons

Horrible vacation policy-never increase beyond 2 weeks. You do get a 6 week paid sabbatical every 4 years but it does not make up for only having 2 weeks all the other years. Last two years they have done a company shutdown the week of 4th of July and required everyone to take their vacation then. Really tough when you only get two weeks vacation and do not even get to choose one them yourself. Lousy work-life balance. Disparity in workload in same roles.

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.
