Avantages
The people are awesome. The corporate goals are aspirational, environmentally conscious, diverse workplace. The products are key in AEC, not so much in MFG. M&E is on life support. The math around subscription model will prove out by holding customers hostage via constant price increases and forcing the move to subscription. Customers that use this technology really cannot move because the projects last so long and cost of retrainiing and redoing designs is prohibitive .
Inconvénients
Painful consensus decision making process means lowest common denominator usually wins. Accountability in product development is notably lacking, allowing start ups to out innovate. Autodesk only brings innovation to market via acquisition. This should never happen in a company with thousands of developers. Many people hanging on due to large stock run up last few years. Confusing and constantly changing product lineup: suites, mini suites, collections, and autocad one box designed to confuse customers and keep them from realizing that they are paying a lot more for the sale stuff they used for 10 years or more.
