Autodesk has come complex apps out there that require engineers with strong software engineering/math backgrounds. From what I see though based on the research I have done, Autodesk is not known to pay really above market to its engineers. If that is indeed the case, and it's possible it is not, how is Autodesk able to hire and retain top talent?
Also, the company's located in San Rafael, which is quite a distance away from Silicon Valley, which also may be a problem, possibly?
What is the mean age for software developers at the company? I am asking this thinking that maybe it is mostly people in their 40s and 50s who prefer to settle down and raise families in San Rafael with lower cost of living instead of getting on LeetCode and preparing for FAANG interviews?

If you are worth, you can get 200 or more, perks are great, every four years you get six weeks sabbaticals. Senior leadership care abt employees, so employees tend to stay longer here.
FYI San Rafael is not low living cost - it is Marin County.
I spoke to few autodesk employees and they are extremely happy with the work life balance, quality of work and apparently the leadership makes sure the employees are happy. Also they have a great office location in San Francisco
6 weeks sabbatical for every 4 years of service. This is followed like a culture and people don’t pass on this.
Mandatory paid shutdown from Christmas to new year day.
Flexible wfh policy.
Pay is ok. You got to keep licking above you to get good refreshers but don’t expect in 100Ks RSU like other Bay Area pay masters. You will get around 40-50k worth refreshers yearly provided you do what I told before well.
The other point mostly most of them ignore is generous ESPP. the price gets locked for 2 years. So in 2015/16/17 the price was locked at some $40/share and while it tripled later. But on this front, I feel party is over. I don’t think it will double & triple from here.
