Pros

Company had good organization and processes implemented. I will give them that.

Cons

Being swallowed-up by their competition, Procore. They can't keep up and keep losing their talent to Procore. My biggest thing is their serious lack of diversity on the sales team. I was constantly harassed and gaslighted. I always felt singled out because nobody looked like me on the sales team. If you don't believe me, look up the sales team's LinkedIn profiles. They all fell into a norm. Worst part is they always had Diversity and Inclusion sessions. I was always bullied by the sales team. I'm not sure why there were held. Worst company I have worked for that singled me out and made me feel unwelcome as a diverse candidate.

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.
