Pros

Highly successful, solid company, with over 30 years in business.

Salaries, bonuses, and vacation time are fair and at market levels.

A 6-week paid sabbatical every 4 years is a great benefit and motivation to stay on long-term.

Internal opportunities for career growth are good as well.

There is a solid development and IT infrastructure, and a well-disciplined development process in place.

You will be working alongside talented and dedicated coworkers in a vibrant working environment.

Autodesk products are world-class and widely adopted worldwide.

The location at One Market is great, and if you live in Marin County, there are offices there as well.

Cons

Periodic layoffs over the years were unnerving and adversely impacted morale. Release schedules can be stressful, but that comes with the territory, for the most part.
