Pros

Work-life balance, competitive and fair pay, great stock program, fairly good vacation policy (3 weeks + week of rest + 6 week sabbatical at 4 years ie: only complaint is it's not 4 weeks + week of rest).

Cons

This is the only reason they have four stars from me. They carry a very liberal mindset and indoctrination when it comes to Covid. If you're like that, this would be a pro. But for a company that touts inclusivity, they are not inclusive of those who have chosen a natural route of handling Covid as apposed to the vaccine. They disparage such employees even to the point of threatening employment (although thankfully for me it has only remained as a threat). Such work environment has made it less enjoyable to work here when one thing is touted and a very different thing is practiced, and it is disappointing. Another Con would be their career advancement opportunity really looks at predominately Autodesk experience. So if you get into the wrong department, it becomes a very tedious journey of climbing the proverbial ladder to get anywhere, even if with past experience you are more qualified than half the people of a job "two rungs up."

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. We understand that the pandemic has caused unique challenges, and our goal is always to protect the health and well-being of our employees and community. We believe our decision to require anyone entering Autodesk offices in the U.S. to be fully vaccinated will bring us closer to returning to our offices safely together and curbing the pandemic.

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.
