Autodesk often makes those Forbes lists such as�best places to work or most innovative companies: When I interview summer interns, the first question that they often ask is "Why do you like working at Autodesk?" I like working at Autodesk because: Our customers make things. Though Autodesk is a computer aided design (CAD) company, I am not a CAD guy. My master's degree is in software engineering, so as a software guy, I could be working on any kind of software. I am delighted that the software that I do work on helps people design, make, and use places, things, and movies/games. Our executive staff is smart. I trust our executive staff. Years ago, I made this video. I like that our executive staff is forward-looking.�Industries are�moving to a cloud/mobile/social world, and CAD has to move along with it. Our employees try to do the right thing. Our company vision is to help everyone imagine, design, and create a better world, and employees take that to heart. It guides everything we do from the features we add to our products/services to volunteering up to 4 paid hours per month in our children's schools. I have worked at Hospital Computer Systems, Honeywell, GTE, Oc�, and Autodesk (in a few other forms such as Ithaca Software and Buzzsaw.com), and in my unbiased opinion :-), Autodesk is the best. Workplace appreciation is alive in the lab. Go to the original post...
