Pros

The work life balance is incredible. This was my first role out of college and it's certainly going to be a high bar to surpass. Every manager I had cared so much about each teammate, their personal and professional development, and were all über nice. I love my team and I love the company. And from what I can tell, most others feel the same. It's easy to jump teams, it's easy to change your role, it's easy to not do your work and not be reprimanded...It's no wonder there are so many "boomerangs" and I intend to be one too. It's a no brainer that Autodesk makes cool stuff. We've all drank the Kool-Aid and we're proud of it.

Cons

As a recent graduate, it's easy to get complacent and lose momentum in your career within this company. Everyone is remote, most people in the company are a bit on the older side, and people are too nice for fear of being perceived as which makes it hard to get anything of substance done. Honestly, Andrew Anagnost is probably one of the more controversial figures in the company and I think we all love him still. TLDR; we often move too slow.

None really at this point. There were layoffs that were hard on people but otherwise it is a great company

Pros

Great people. Good benefits. Remote work.

Cons

Trying not to be "sour grapes" as I was laid off yesterday. But, it's worth noting that in 7 years, the job got worse. Year after year. If it weren't for Revit & AutoCad subscription renewals, the AECO story at Autodesk would be very different. Promoting shiny baubles at AU or on LinkedIn while front line/customer facing employees bear the brunt of a patchwork of disconnected back end systems where data is impossible to find, a pricing structure based on fiction that clients hate, and an out of touch leadership team. Yearly changes in sales methodologies, bloated process, etc makes for a challenging work environment. Writing was on the wall 3 years ago- no more RSU's, no back fill to lost positions, more work, less chance to achieve success.
