Pros

Autodesk is made of top-quality professionals. The human environment & work conditions are superb and I've enjoyed my time immensely. Career advancement is highly encouraged and training opportunities abound.

Cons

Latency - the shear size of the organization means that there often a delta between the making of a decision and it's application. Constant and (at least) yearly reorganizations means that everyone stays on alert, irrelevantly of their performance level. In the long run, morale suffers. High level politics are omnipresent.

Pros

The individual contributors, your peers you work with day in and day out are fantastic people! At the IC level, for the most part, it feels like everyone is in the fight together. The work/life balance is good depending on which business unit/team you're aligned with. The benefits are pretty solid, especially the 6 week sabbatical.

Cons

Autodesk moves at the pace of a snail, very slow to take action on anything. Selling is very difficult with all the undocumented approvals, processes, red tape and very few people are willing to actually help! Leadership doesn't care about the people their decisions impact. Feedback is rarely listened to and acted upon. Pay is terrible compared to competitors in this space. Autodesk has embraced a ton of change over the last few years with new marketing, sales and IT leadership and it shows. They are not shy in showing their desire to be the next Oracle at the expense of their people. They are constantly changing tools, processes, people, roles, you name it so you feel like you're under water constantly. Lipstick on a pig.
