Autodesk Employer Reviews

Really good company to work with. Learned more about data warehousing, best practices in data migration, data integration and CRM.

- amazing team to work with
- got enough time to understand the requirements and then contribute
- apart from work it is at one of the most beautiful locations i have worked at.

Was brought in as a temp. data analyst. Very unstructured and unprofessional work environment. People in my group were treated as 2nd class employees, work is very unstructured and often times leading to great confusion among analysts. Culture of fear, do not ask questions, just keep head down & do in order not get fired. I spoke up agains this, my – more... contract was not renewed. I was told it was due to speaking up but entire team was let go. Was then offered to come back in a similar department, apparently because I was a good worker in other department (?), refused due to insufficient pay and zero career advancement opportunities. – less

Fun place to work, friendly management.

Encouraging management.

Came in at 3am and worked until 1pm in order to grow this engineering software business around the globe.

Loved working in the Gallery and seeing all the amazing exhibits that showcase Autodesk's reach.

People are smart and passionate to make better product and help customers. Management is behind the curve with latest technology most of the time but catches up and do good. Company takes care of the employees.

Give to third party vendor . Unorganized and unplanned projects

I loved this company. But with the bad economy came lay offs.

I loved working at Autodesk. Such great people. I always had a blast with my team. I worked in Sales. Superb commission scheme, with great accelerators, (some of the best in the industry). Products are superb.

I am looking to get back there. It was a mistake thinking the grass could be greener. It isnt.

Autodesk's products have such impact in the world and it's inspiring to come to work every day! The people and culture are better than any other company I've worked in . It's a start-up culture within a stable environment. The shift to cloud, mobile and social is exciting!

mediocre management, company has good market share, global leader on CAD but survives by inertia, capitalizing on old products brands. Nice people and environment, but career opportunities are scarse. Very political organization, mediocre managers are promoted because of connecions rather than real management and people skills.

Autodesk provided strong compensation and benefits. Autodesk did not create an environment for job advancement and job security.

Great place, great people, great benefits. They definitely encourage work/life balance.

Autodesk is a great company to work for in general. Excellent work-life balance and overall benefit. Its niche is in CAD, where it really dominates. However, in the field that I'm working in (simulation), Autodesk is still searching for directions.

Autodesk provides a strong work ethic based company. A typical day includes several interactions with various customer opportunities - progress - since they are generally Long Term Sales Cycles which could last nearly 2 years.
The challenges faced at Autodesk is my current position is under a direct purchase model which is counter culture to Autodesk's – more... Reseller / Channel model used on 90% of their business.
Several restructures have challenged the Major Utility group with new Managers uneducated on the industry and other management who does not comprehend the complexity nor longevity of our sales cycles.
My co-workers (remote) are a great team and easy to coordinate project opportunities and successful action plans. – less

The co-workers are very helpful to the intern students.
The salary is also good

Interned as a mechanical engineer for the Sustainability Workshop in 2011. Brought my CAD skills to the next level, learning the ins and outs of various Autodesk products.

I got to work with some amazing, innovative people who care about making good products for their customers. The hardest part of the job was having to coordinate with teammates in other parts of the world. Autodesk takes good care of its employees and is dedicated to making a positive impact on the world.

Non-stop, frenetic, work before the moment I walk in the office (cell phone begins ringing before 7:00 am). I have learned what type of work stress I will no longer tolerate. My management is no management at all - just micromanage to death and then change everything anyway. The most difficult part of the job is finding some sort of connection with – more... the person for whom I currently work. The most enjoyable part of the job is the other people I get to work with on a fairly regular basis. – less
