Autodesk Layoff 2024
Layoffs are coming for Autodesk software engineering teams in the USA and Canada. This is another set of silent layoffs that everyone in the company took as a surprise. The new investments are in machine learning and AI. The severance package is peanuts. They allow for another opportunity within the company, but open positions are minimal. #autodesk #softwareengineering #layoff2024 #tech #techlayoff2024 #techlayoff

Thank you Biden
Another case of ai eating people’s jobs. No, it’s not that ai can do what these folks do. Rather, companies are cutting people to feed the damn machines under the promise of ai. Most companies would never reach ai excellence. All those repetitive training is no different than running bitcoin transactions - complete waste and environmental disaster
How's the WLB been? I've considered jumping ship a few yr. ago but haven't done my homework since
WLB depends upon team culture. Some teams have hectic work. But, they pay well(base+equity) for Lead and above.
I heard that many impacted software engineers are from the customer experience team. Do you know if other teams outside of that are safe?
Thought they never layoff. Especially since Autodesk has moat with its products in the Design & Make space
We’ve heard fearmongering about widespread layoffs for months now on Blind and it hasn’t happened. Check the CA WARN notices - nothing. But hey, if you keep warning about it then you’ll be right eventually.
I am in Mgmt and I have not heard of any layoffs. Some individuals orgs might be doing changes based on the new year initiatives that they got funded.
Wow I was just about to apply there :/
You can still apply. The company is doing well. The stock appreciated 30% in the last couple of quarters. You never know who is lucky :)
