Cons
My experience with Autodesk is fairly exclusive as my position and department have since been dissolved and reorganized into successfully managed divisions. Major cons: -No balance of right and left-brain thinkers (overwhelmingly engineer-minded) -Management politics (found in every organization, unfortunately) -Still a bit "boys-club" with regard to the composition of the executive leadership and high-level managerial staff. -Large organization with residual hierarchy bubbles decreasing alignment along the key stakeholder pipeline... slowing down approvals, change initiatives, buy-in, etc. -Too many managers without aligned strategies and goals
