I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Montreal, QC) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview is about 30 minutes and they ask about your resume and they evaluate your programming skills. But they questions are very basic. For example how to reverse a string or how you can find a substring. They only want to know you can write simple programs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Finding substring, reversing a string in-place and other basic programming questions.
Typical software engineer process. First telephone resume screening. and then OA and then Onsite interview. Each step is average difficult. But HR did ask some personal private questions which made me unconfortable.
3 rounds, not that stressful, love the environment. more like to chat. And maybe it would be better to prepare some tech questions, it sould be really helpful. But the tech comes until the second, and third round is more like behavior questions.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Autodesk in Apr 2026
Interview
I first had a call with the recruiter to discuss the role, my background, and my experience. After that, I was invited to Round 1 with the manager.
The interview was mostly behavioral and focused heavily on teamwork, collaboration, and communication-related topics. Toward the end, there were also a few technical questions covering C++, DSA fundamentals, and other stuff related to the role.
Overall, the process felt professional and respectful. The manager was kind, approachable, and treated me with respect throughout the interview.
