Designing and making a better world starts with how people work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Autodesk, culture isn\u2019t a set of aspirational statements \u2013 it\u2019s how work actually gets done. It\u2019s how teams collaborate across borders and disciplines, how ideas turn into action, and how trust is built day by day. That shared way of working is called One ORBIT, and it sits at the heart of life at Autodesk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re exploring what a career here could look like, One ORBIT offers a clear window into our culture, our values, and what it means to be part of a global company focused on impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is One ORBIT?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One ORBIT is Autodesk\u2019s culture guide and shared set of values. It defines how people across the company work, make decisions, and show up for one another and for our customers. It reflects what it takes to operate at a high level \u2013 not just as professionals, but as collaborators united by a common purpose: helping design and make a better world for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, One ORBIT is grounded in a simple idea: fast or far, we go together \u2013 as One Autodesk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A culture designed to be lived<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One ORBIT isn\u2019t abstract or theoretical \u2013 it\u2019s meant to be put into action. The values guide decision making, goal setting, performance, and collaboration, regardless of role or level. Everyone shares responsibility for living the culture and contributing to an environment where people can do their best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The framework itself was shaped by employee feedback, customer insights, and  research, making it a reflection of how work really happens at Autodesk today and preparing us for the challenges of tomorrow While we may add new behaviors to the guide over time, the values and ways of working should serve as a  consistent compass on what it means to be an Autodesker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
