Pros

Awesome, intelligent co-workers, frequent free food, overall pleasant atmosphere and work/life balance

Cons

Hard to advance career and management is a total fiasco, not a lot of job security due to lots of "restructuring" AKA huge layoffs (I believe 10% of the company was cut in early 2017 and another 5-ish% was cut at the end of 2017....), not a very high retention rate for people in my field at the company, I believe close to 85% of my team bailed within my first three months due to absolutely horrid new management that was brought on

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.
