Pros

Benefits are good, colleagues are mostly great

Cons

Technical support used to be a great job. Within the past year there have been many changes as they restructure the org, and they have clearly demonstrated that they could not care less about their support staff. The rest of the company gets to work remotely if they choose to, but support specifically has a three day in-office requirement? We are clearly viewed as second class citizens, and no feedback is ever taken into account. Upper management claims they are listening and open to feedback, but all they do is nod and smile and nothing is done. They are regimenting our daily schedules down to the minute with no flexibility and work/life balance is in the toilet. It is also making it impossible to help our customers the way they need and expect help.

Pros

Autodesk has, hands down, one of the warmest and most supportive corporate cultures I’ve ever experienced. From day one, people were welcoming, respectful, kind, and genuinely available to help. Even as a contract worker, I never felt like an outsider. I felt included, trusted, and treated like part of the team. The marketing team was an incredible group: collaborative, smart, generous with their time, and always willing to answer questions. Autodesk also has a true teaching culture. You never feel silly for asking questions, and there is a clear willingness across teams to help people learn, improve, and succeed. Operationally, the company was also impressively efficient. The technology, meeting tools, scheduling systems, and general workflows made it easy to connect with people, set appointments, collaborate, and keep work moving without unnecessary friction. Overall, Autodesk set the bar for what a healthy corporate culture can feel like: organized, human, respectful, inclusive, and genuinely collaborative. Pros: Warm culture, helpful people, strong tools and technology, respectful teams, inclusive environment, great marketing organization.

Cons

As a contractor, I only wish the experience had been longer.
