Proud to be a Fortune 100 'Best Places to Work Company'!
Here's an excerpt:
What could possibly make an employee miss work during six weeks of paid time off?
At Autodesk, it starts with the profound sense of pride 93 percent of employees share in being associated with the Autodesk name. The company was founded in 1982, with a mission to create a “golden age of engineering.” Autodesk invented AutoCAD software, a PC-based computer-aided design tool for architects which for the first time gave people the ability to “see” and “experience” their designs virtually and in three dimensions.
People around the world, from students and hobbyists to professional designers, engineers and the special effects folks behind movies like “Avatar,” use the company’s software products. This adds up to more than 12 million professional users and over 115 million consumer application users. Many employees are especially proud to note that over the past 18 years, Autodesk solutions have been behind every winner of the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in Film.
So it’s no surprise that nine in 10 employees are proud of what they accomplish as part of the Autodesk team.
“The software we make is livelihood for several millions of people on the Earth,” one employee says. “Be it engineering creativity design tools or software to create movie graphics the work we do has direct impact on people.”
