Pros: Salary is very good. Health benefits are amazing. Many roles may be had as hybrid and/or remote. Culture code sounds good on paper.

Cons: Manager musical chairs. Managers with a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude, where they expect individual contributors to adhere to a "culture code" but do not themselves. Constructive feedback comes as a surprise at review time, once a year. Rare positive feedback is given throughout the year. There is no growth path or ways to move laterally; you are stuck for years in a role unless the organization changes you to another role. People that have no business being managers are made managers, but people that express a desire to get there are ignored. Managers are terrible people managers because they are expected to do other things as well, and those other things are what give them "visibility".

Pros: Amazing work experience with absolutely fantastic people. Very hands-off development work, and they specifically look for people who are willing to stay within the company.

Cons: I don't have any real cons to working here.

Pros: There is no progression for engineers here. The promotion increment is minimal as compared to people managers, who get more frequent promotions and larger increments with less "work". They are not individual contributors; they are placeholders for a magic chair called "manager," which guarantees relaxation and wealth.

Cons: The only guaranteed career progression here is people manager, who just do nothing and wait for promotion after a few years. Unfair compensation system. Many managers have zero skill, unfit to survive in the wild, yet commanding huge power and drawing high salaries at Autodesk.
