Pros

- Great WLB - You trade your time with money - No need to do anything and everything just happens - You need to know politics and no need to be intelligent

Cons

- Reorgs after reogs - Almost monthly layoff patterns, unless you've been with the company for over a decade or two - No one cares about your career growth, and they tell you that you own it yourself. - The lowest compensation in tech - No one delivers or builds anything, and everything is in the maintenance mode - The worst leadership and management - Your spot in the hierarchy matters for visibility and promotion

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.
