Autodesk slashing 1,350 jobs to strengthen business resilience

What’s going on at Autodesk?

Autodesk is eliminating around 1,350 jobs, or approximately nine per cent of its workforce, as part of a restructuring.

“The global business environment is rapidly transforming due to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, as well as evolving regulations,” CEO Andrew Anagnost said in a memo to staff.

“To remain competitive, resilient, and future-ready, we are evolving our strategy to maximize talent investments, distribute critical expertise globally, and position us to adapt to today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.”

The update comes after reports claimed that the software giant was facing pressure from investors to put a greater focus on profitability.

Anagnost specifically stated that the workforce reduction “is not the result of any third-party pressure.”
