Pluspunten

Strong benefits package Flexible hours and remote work options

Minpunten

Highly siloed teams with poor cross-department collaboration. Weak work/life balance, long hours often expected, but then the extra hours put in are not appreciated. Promotions are driven more by connections than performance. Outdated, overly complex software products that are difficult to modernize or maintain. Layoffs occur regularly, yet similar roles are soon re-posted and filled. Heavy spending on management, admin, and sales rather than product development. Products are outdated and mostly in maintenance mode, yet still sold at outrageously high prices. Subscription model locks customers in and customers are left with nothing if they stop paying. Work often feels more valued by customers than by Autodesk’s own management team. Software is buggy, but the development team is too small to properly fix issues and instead focuses on adding or removing features or making cosmetic changes. Bloated management, with insufficient focus on developers to create the best products.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
