Autodesk as an employer has fallen quite a bit from even a decade ago. Despite the culture of crabs in a bucket playing at empire building Bass' tenure was marked by generally employee friendly policies and a sincere passion behind some of their projects. The same definitely can't be said for the marketing dweebs that took over (and judging by Fusion they've ramped up their anti-customer initiatives too).

The shift towards subscription based bullshit was essentially the start of the effort to oust Bass.
