Pros

Good company benefits, office location in barcelona, software industry leader in AEC.

Cons

Autodesk’s mid-market segment in AEC is dominated by a senior demographic, fostering an extremely political and slow-moving culture. Many employees are comfortable as order-takers, relying on Autodesk’s market leader status rather than driving growth. For more dynamic professionals coming from fast-paced environments, this culture may feel stifling. Attempts to introduce efficiency or innovative approaches are met with extreme resistance, as it might highlight inefficiencies in current way of work. Collaboration sometimes feels more like a power struggle than a team effort. Additionally, if you have a poor manager, be prepared to be used as a scapegoat for their shortcomings. It’s a common practice, as the culture is a zero ownership culture.

Pros

This company is amazing! When you start you get a decent sized home office stipend but the on going benefits are great as well, including but not limited to a monthly WiFi reimbursement, a yearly wellness reimbursement, the option to work from a foreign country for up to a month a year, stock options, and much more! Aside from that, all the people I’ve worked with thus far are so easy to get along with and everyone truly pulls their weight.

Cons

Like any large company, there are occasional layoffs,

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.
