Pros

Salary is competitive, culture tries to promote inclusion in terms of gender, race, etc.

Cons

HR is not active in providing help and solutions. It is an automated system and when you do ask for personal guidance they do not provide solutions but suggest that you use Bravely a company supplied life coaching service. Employee voice and input is limited to a survey once a quarter, the results of which do not seem to have impact. Managers do not understand the products and have no technical experience which makes the performance review awkward since they do not understand the work you do, Promotions seem very limited as they tend to hire from external sources so as a employee you do get stuck in the same role year after year.

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.
