Autodesk Employee Reviews about "decision making"

Cons

slower decision making processes and can be hard to advance in career quickly

Pros

The team I was on were great to work with. Work/life balance was also great.

Big company results in office politics. Saw projects that didn't get shipped based on upper management decision making.

Pros

It’s a great place to learn, get global exposure. I’ve been fortunate to feel empowered in my job and contribute in many creative ways.

Cons

Centralized/US-centric decision making. As a 30y company who’s been a market leader, internally there’s quite a ‘comfortable’ mindset.

Pros

Good culture. Employee oriented. Flexibility.

Cons

Decision making process too complex. Communication not always handled well.

Pros

Good work life balance. Good level of autonomy, engineers are allowed to make decisions about tech stack etc.

Cons

Decision making at middle management level can be baffling at times. Lots of reorgs happening, about once every year. Sometimes it is disruptive to productivity as people are shuffled around. Pay is not so ideal compared to other tech firms.

Pros

great work life balance highly collaborative culture

Cons

consensus driven culture make decision making process slow lack of promotional opportunities

Slow decision making; a lot of politics

Compensation and stock price is high => nice package

Cons

constant restructuring with inconsistent investment strategy; American driven decision making

Data driven decision making Hungry for success

Cons

Excessive expenditure on account managers, who are paid for driving partner sales into large accounts. Marketing heavy company with little knowledge of credible customer success stories in their region

Pros

Management is a discipline at Autodesk. Leadership training is rigorous and strong, but you should buy into the leadership model if you want to reach Director/above.

Cons

Slow to change and make clear decisions because they don’t have much incentive to given the market dominance of several marquee products. Agile with waterfall process mixed in. Politics rampant with senior management always waging territory wars and executives not relying on the right senior managers to influence decision making or achieve objectives. Top talent leaves, and middling talent rises.
