Pros

Big company, known brand, Good Benefits, and Location, multinational - offices in many countries.

Cons

The extreme political and hierarchical environment, Seems everyone is dying for recognition and appreciation. Finance managers compete with FA or other juniors to prove themselves in front of senior managers. Extreme favoritism. They implement diversity and excludes non-Americans for all kinds of opportunities like external training, presentations, promotions and make nonamericans feel out of their culture. I am Chinese and most of the time I am excluded from giving a presentation or promotion as they insult me for my native language and constantly interrupt when I speak.

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.
