Pros

My intern project was nice, exciting, and something that hadn't been done before at Autodesk. I was surprised with the amount of freedom and flexibility I had within the project.

Cons

Autodesk is not growing as fast as other computer/web companies. Therefore, there are few full-time opportunities available. That means you are spending your summer internship in the hopes of getting a full-time offer afterwards, because chances are you won't. Additionally, pay is very low compared to opportunities in other SF-based companies (Big 4 and startups).

Advice to Management

Be frank with interns and tell them that most would not get a return offer.
