Pros: Smart, dedicated people. Direct managers care, or at least seem to. Above-average benefits for the industry. Smart people. Great opportunity to advance to middle management. Above-average work-life balance. It would be the ideal place to work if not...

Cons: The people at the helm will gut engineering departments and replace them with engineers in Bangalore and/or Shanghai, or fresh out of school, to meet the bottom line and appease Wall Street. They've done it before, and they'll do it again. Beware. If this company didn't own the DWG format, they would have died decades ago. AutoCAD's profit has allowed them to buy their way into other industries, gobble up competition, and then over time release those engineers, replacing them with cheaper talent either overseas or right from school. They have done this time and time again. It's a modern-day form of corporate raiding. It is a terrible way to run a business, and it is a reason why they can't grow any software in-house and have it succeed, outside of AutoCAD and its verticals. Virtually all successful products beyond these have been acquired, and of those products, at least 50% of the engineers are gone within 5 years. It's sad, really.

Pros: * Great work/life balance * Great colleagues * Humane touch * Interesting work * Helpful people/team

Cons: Delayed career growth. There are no other cons. I am typing this to fulfill the 20-word limit, which actually makes no sense.

Pros: Best company Autodesk, environmentally speaking.

Cons: Nothing much to say on this section.
