Autodesk Cuts About 250 Jobs, Joining Flurry of Tech Layoffs

Autodesk Inc. is cutting about 250 jobs, the latest technology company to shed workers in a turbulent time for the industry that expanded rapidly over the past few years.

The cuts amount to less than 2% of Autodesk’s global workforce, a company spokeswoman said. They are the product of aligning resources to pursue key priorities this fiscal year and not a result of over-hiring or cost-cutting, and Autodesk continues to add workers “across the company for many key positions,” she said.
