Pros

There were some intelligent people there, and most try to be nice. However, as always, there are the usual mediocre engineers that think they are rockstars as well. This is not unique to Autodesk, though, so it's not a negative.

Cons

Absolute insanity, needing to get permission to blink on the platform from way too many people. (You are not Google, please.)

Stop pushing political views at work. Slack should not be a place where people spit out the usual culture politics of the day. Do that on your own time and leave SJW stuff at home.

Consensus mentality is maddening. It is yet another horrible example of an agile casualty. All creativity and the ability to design something great is crushed by the constant 'all have to agree' garbage.

Building your own PaaS is just silly. Nobody there has the skills, and there are many great tools already built for this that work better than anything you will ever come up with.
