Pros

Money it is not that great but they do have the best benefits package

Cons

Management in technical support lacks understanding of the product and the actual challenges of solving technical issues. This makes it hard for employees to get the right support. The team is kept chronically understaffed, which pushes people to take on an unsustainable workload and makes work-life balance very difficult. My direct manager, a woman, had very limited technical knowledge and very little management experience before joining Autodesk. As a result, she often struggled to make decisions effectively, and her lack of confidence or expertise created delays and confusion for the team. It often felt like she was set up in a role she wasn’t ready for, which impacted everyone’s ability to succeed. Raising feedback or new ideas often feels discouraged, and in my experience, speaking up about improvements can put your job security at risk. Employees also notice that staffing decisions sometimes occur before stock vests, which can feel unfair. Every year there are mass lay offs as well so

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.
