Autodesk

1. Great people

There are many excellent senior employees around, including some pretty renowned graphics experts in both industrial and academic fields. Also, most senior employees are very proficient in software development.

1. Excellent work-life balance

Working here is a great pleasure. You should be able to enjoy many events that Autodesk holds, and you'll love hanging out with your co-workers for sure.

1. Best employer for new graduates

Autodesk has a very nice mentor mechanism that helps new graduates with everything she or he should know and grasp. New graduates can learn quite a lot that will benefit their whole career. This is the best thing that I can think of about Autodesk.

1. Politics EVERYWHERE

After you get more comfortable with your work and want further development, I'm telling you it is definitely NOT a smooth experience. You have to tackle the complex politics in the office. You need to spend quite a lot of brain cycles and effort to please your manager and your co-workers. After some time, you'll find you cannot enjoy your work as before, because you will probably be challenged by those who think you've threatened their positions.

1. Unbalanced management structure

This may explain #1. One manager or architect controls everything of your work. If you are not getting along with her/him/one of them, you are done. Change teams then. There's nothing you can do about it. Nothing in management is balanced.
