As a 35 year (retired) survivor of the CA high-tech industry, I'm wondering what your background is.

Anyone with the qualifications to work at Autodesk should know what to expect, good economy or not: confusion, management coups, political in-fighting, a new mission statement every week. That's CA high-tech SOP.

The best thing to do at companies like AD is keep an even strain, gaze fondly at your excellent paycheck and not take it all too seriously.
