Pros
It's an exciting time to be at Autodesk as the company is reinventing itself as a leader in the computer science space. The executive team is embracing challenges and finding every possible way to increase customer satisfaction and trust throughout the organization. I feel like I am directly working on initiatives that help shape the future of the organization. I connect with the mission and vision of the company and can see the organization taking positive steps towards creating a better world. The culture is awesome here! I feel engaged and happy in my job, and in my work environment. Even though this is technically a large corporation, it still has a family feel within my division and department. You can tell that managers are thoroughly trained in leadership and communication skills. You can really tell the company cares about the happiness and well-being of its employees with its reach of employee programs and events, as well as commitment to work-life balance. I especially enjoy Autodesk's array of employee programs spanning from company soccer and softball tournaments, gyms, to on-site dog-walking. I also have access to a wide variety of training resources, either digitally or in-person. I feel like when I am ready to make a move into the next step in my career, I have the resources I need to do that within Autodesk rather than moving to another company.
Cons
As a millennial in the San Rafael office, it's been a bit challenging to get to know people within my division and department. It would be great to have other types of events that are not so family-focused so I can meet more people in my age group.
