Interviewed Aug 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
The interview process usually involves a chat with an employee, who referred you, as most new hires are referrals, then a phone interview with the manage who is doing the hiring as well as their direct manager. After that you will have a panel interview with the team you'll be working with 6-30 people, but more than 12 and it will likely be broken up into separate groups. After a 1-2 hour panel interview you'll have a day's worth of 1 on 2 interviews (30-60mins) with each of the team members you'll be working with. After this each team member will evaluate you to their manager. If most team members would like to have you on the team, you'll have 1 last interview with the manager, and a phone interview with HR to discuss financials, after that you're set.

Negotiation Details
Initial pay is strongly based on years of experience and level of education earned, not a lot of wiggle room, once you're in the door that number doesn't mean too much, so don't get too hung up on it.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 6 weeks)
Applied online and the recruiter called couple of days. The first technical interview was set in a week's time but the manager had to leave in half an hour and the rest of the interview got postponed. The next time the interview was set the manager never called and it wasted my day. Next interview date was set the hiring manager called and started with lot of development questions.It started on the wrong foot when the interviewer asked me what i do and what is the position i had applied for. Clearly the guy did not know whom he was talking to and what position he was interviewing for. At the end i knew i did not make it because most of the questions were not relevant to the job description.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
I was contacted by an internal recruiter from UK who requested that I call. That, for me, means international calling rates, thanks. The interview went pretty much exactly as expected - "you're wasting my time" attitude combined with questions any half-wit who _actually_ read my resume could answer. At one point I basically started sabotaging the interview because I really didn't want to be talking to this person any longer. Some interviews are a pleasure even with no offer... this, i don't know how this interviewer could make it so insanely boring and annoying. Obviously didn't receive an offer and neither, not surprisingly, a rejection letter.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Have had couple of interviews in the past with autodesk. Both the times the interview went really fine, all positive feedback from the interviewers. In the end hiring manager ended up changing the job title/job description and the requirement.
After it happened second time, it was confirmed that autodesk managers do NOT plan or do their home work before hand. They are not sure about the position and the job description and are not able to make up their minds. Absolutely ridiculous managers - no wonder the company is going downhill.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Within a week after applying online, I was contacted through e-mail by someone from the team I would be working with. He scheduled a phone interview with me and a couple of days later, I had my phone interview with him and another person from the team I would be working with. A couple of days later, I was asked to come in to the office. I was prepared for another interview but I was just shown around the building and I have been basically offered the job then.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
Got an email three months after application, the guy started from my first job which was 6 years ago and I could remember too much. Also he "never heard of" SilkTest before. So I guess he got a bad impression and skipped most questions about my current position which was the longest and most important one.
Received an email on the second day with some lame excuse. Anyway I don't want to work in this kind of company.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 4 weeks)
Applied online, no reply. Applied through friend, manager contacted within 1 week. Same with other friends.
Manager called on phone. Surprise 1st interview done by manager. Just verify work experience. Nice talk. Not difficult. Give me solve interaction design problem for homework. Not difficult. Found on another company website.
No reply for 2 weeks. Then call company for interview. 1 interview. Some dev, designer together interview me. Easy start but then ask me solve problem. Went okay. All questions about 3D, engineering so not so easy. Asked questions and they are happy to give more information.
Then phone interview with US. Some manager called. Ask question on experience and projects. Not so hard.
No order in question. They ask what you talk about. Surprised so many interviews and so much time but no order. They like me. I think. Give offer after 3 weeks.
Interview Questions
The aim of these exercises is to help us see how well you might fit the Interaction Designer Generation role.
We are looking for your ability to:
++Identify and solve design problems at both the conceptual and detailed level
++Describe your design and tell us why
it’s good
++Understand the people for whom you
are designing
Feel free to use whatever tools you feel you need, but make sure the response is your own. Provide enough illustration and written description of your designs, in whatever medium you are comfortable, to get your point across. Finished art is not necessary. Spend as much or as little time as you wish, but an hour on Part One and no more than a couple of hours on Part Two should be plenty.
Above all: Have fun!
If this isn’t fun, this job probably isn’t for you.
Reason for Declining
Friend tell me too much work. Not many know company. Not good for design career.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2 months)
I actually interviewed in 2008 - it was fairly smooth with a recruiter covering the first stage, then phone with the hiring manager and his boss, flight to meet them for 1-1, then background, reference check, drug test and offer letter about 2 weeks after all formalities were completed.
