Pros

Typical tech/SaaS/startup environment... snacks for days, fancy water/coffee machines that make anything you could dream up, free lunch, massage chairs, swag to make people feel proud, fancy meeting rooms, ability to work from any office or remote.

Cons

Upper management cannot explain comp plans to save themselves. This is a sales role... sales people like MONEY and knowing how they're able to earn that. If you can't explain how targets and attainment works, how can anyone stay motivated or want to stay? This was easily the biggest mess of a company I've experience, that's too big to fail with government contracts, and perks thrown at employees that makes them second guess wanting to leave. This place also favors the typical woke culture you'd expect and they sexualize the workplace (call it what it is) and favor certain groups while stomping on others. My building was wrapped in a giant rainbow, every window and door had a rainbow decal placed on it, and a work floor loaded with TVs promoted very "colorful" events - it was a VERY celebrated office space. Christian, Conservative, etc... beware of your values being stomped on like mine were. This place also

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.
