Vantaggi
Autodesk truly powers the world of Architecture, product design, engineering and construction with industry standard software. The company is truly dedicated to education, diversity, sustainability and making the world a better place. Hours can be flexible and the organization is family-friendly. As a larger, global company there are many areas to work in. They also have some great innovative components such as Pier 9 and the Gallery at One Market in SF. Recently (2017) they successfully changed leadership and CEO Anagnost is energetic and charismatic in a complementary way to former CEO Bass. Employee peer recognition system helps to support colleagues to ensure they get recognition for their work. Autodesk is committed to its principles.
Svantaggi
Decent benefits, though pay seems to at best match industry counterparts, not lead them. As a larger company, there tends to be a lot of overhead. Work silos have been a challenge, but there are solid efforts to share more across teams, but the down side is that there are fairly frequent re-orgs which can tend to increase the sense of insecurity.
