Autodesk Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Autodesk

Pros – Strong company with solid financials. Recognized leader in design software with interest in new technologies and business models.

Cons – Overall, corporate culture promotes team consensus on decisions which can delay or confuse decision-making. Also, culture promotes work environment sensitive to others, meaning that it is sometimes difficult to be direct. CEO is more of a technologist and idea-inspired person than a compelling visionary or leader. Autodesk has difficulty breaking bad habits developed over 25 years - fairly calcified business operations.

Advice to Senior Management – Shake-up the business model faster. Be more demanding of the channel. We have shared customers and the sales channel has to relinquish some of its control of customer information.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
