Featured Interview

Anonymous Employee in Atlanta, GA
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2021
Pretty intensive interview process, but they move you along quickly and efficiently. 1) Phone screen with recruiter 2) Phone conversation with hiring manger 3) Practice chat + email simulation with managers via Zoom (feedback provided) 4) Panel interview with 4 managers 5) Reference check Overall, it took ~3 weeks to finish all of these steps, and the recruiter and manager were very communicative. I was never left in the dark and got great feedback for each step. You learn a lot about the role and the company, even if it's a lot of time to dedicate. Totally worth it.
- Q: When was a time that you received negative feedback, and how did you grow from that? Q: When was a time you failed at something? Q: What does work ethic mean to you?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in London, England
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Autodesk (London, England)
Felt like it was a chore for the interviewer and they would be rather doing something else instead! Very poor interviewing technique and was sarcastic when you did not appear to answer what they wanted exactly!! For example: Q. What Shape is a Sphere? A. Its a round ball shaped solid! Q. I know geometrically that’s what it is but what shape do “You” think it is? A. Well I think it is a round shape with no straight faces! Q. Mmmmmm, That’s not the answer I was looking for!
- Tell me what technically you can bring to the role?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Autodesk
Recruiter call and 1st round. Did not call back to inform of the decision. 1st round was technical with excel questions too. It was stressful as the excel on the spot test was not informed ahead of time and done in the last 10 mins.
- case study on excel skills

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at Autodesk
Talked to HR first, seemed nice. She wanted both parties to keep each other updated (ie no ghosting). Do a 3-hour coding test next, based on look development (nodes & ports in graph). Only c++ allowed. Next is interview with engineers, and boy that is where the fun starts. They do not give you any time and silence to think, constantly bombarding you with hints and noise. Dude, chill out and let the candidate work. After that, no news as I got ghosted by the HR rep that specifically said not to ghost :)
- Design patterns, recursion, cpp features

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk
Was asked about my pervious work, day to day workflow and other behavioral type questions. There was absolutely no technical assessment, which was very strange way to filter out candidates. Was a waste of time unfortunately.
- What does a regular day look like for you?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in San Francisco, CA
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA)
- One technical interview length 45 mins: Started without introduction, questions asked was Design and Test Facebook. After 5-7 follow up questions on testing. It went on Coding part. The question was leetcode easy. Done! Then follow up questions on code part. It went pretty well! But now it comes the twist: I was in the dangling situation for a month. No decision. Contacted recruiter multiple times. After around 20 days of an interview, I heard back that you are neither rejected nor selected. On hold for the moment. I waited 15-20 days more. Dropped a follow up email again and bang! Rejection!
- How would you design and test Facebook
- Code: Find missing number in given array sequence.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Autodesk
Introduction first, then ask some questions. Talk about something that is your own experience of your work. Questions are some experiential questions. Very well and relax. Feel ok during the interview. Not that hard during the interview.
- How do you think a good leader?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Autodesk
Four rounds First round - general recruiter interview - technical experience details Second round - manager interview with a lot of behaviour and role related questions Third round - technical interview
- What do you know about our company?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Autodesk
Met with a panel, it felt like the interviewers were not prepared to interview me. I was asked a bunch of unrelated coding questions and did short coding exercise. They didn't ask many questions about my experience or interests
- For the coding exercise, I was asked how I would reverse a subsequence in an array

Anonymous Employee
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Autodesk
1 round of technical interview lasting around an hour. Included 1 coding question and 1 system design question. Last 10 minutes was for behavioural questions. The coding question is fairly easy and the interviewers are looking to understand your thought process. However, interview format varies across teams.
- 1. Design a system according to the constraints given by the interviewers

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Autodesk
It is a very long interview process. It took a total of 3 months to get through almost all the interviews. 1- recruiter call 2- a hiring manager 3- interview with a manager where you get to ask the questions 4- presentation panel 5- director interview This company is growing and seems to have a very diverse work environment and they mentioned many times that they have plenty of opportunities to grow. In 2 of the 4 interviews, I did my interviewers seemed very distracted. They really only asked me 3-5 questions and during my responses would text on their phone or were doing other things on their desktop and so I had to repeat myself a lot. I also always had to email my recruiter every 2 weeks to ask if I was still in the interview process between every interview.
- What motivates you to work hard?
