Autodesk

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.

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.

We need to do a big chop to remove the thick and heavy management layers.
