Pros
Reasonable compensation, though not competitive for a senior role Nice people in the office Large company with established processes
Kontras
Significant mismatch between the role described during interviews and the actual day-to-day work Reporting structure and scope changed immediately after joining Limited willingness to acknowledge or correct role misalignment once raised I joined Autodesk after interviewing for a senior cloud / infrastructure-focused engineering role. Shortly after starting, both the reporting structure and the nature of the work changed from what was described during the interview process. In practice, the role functioned as Level 1 operational support rather than senior engineering work. This was not a temporary transition, and there was no clear path for the role to evolve into what was originally presented. Concerns raised about this mismatch were not meaningfully addressed. This experience may not apply to every team, but candidates interviewing for senior technical roles should ask very direct questions about: the exact day-to-day responsibilities how much of the role is operational support whether the reporting structure is stable
