I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
- 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!
Firstly, I got one hr phone screen, and then one hiring manager interview. However, I did pass the second one since my background did not match this position. If I pass the second round, there should be one more technical interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Singapore) in Apr 2021
Interview
I was first called by the recruiter a few days after applying, who then immediately asked that I interview the following day or the day after. The timeline for the whole application was ridiculous, and another person I know who applied for a different position who had to postpone their interview for legitimate reasons was somewhat pushed to the back of the line and never got around to interviewing with Autodesk as the company had filled their spot for that opening.
The interview itself was on Zoom. The interviewers were the testing team and they were generally nice and friendly. The interview consisted of 2 simple algorithm questions and 3 SQL queries. After that, I basically waited a whole month to know that Autodesk was rejecting my application.
Overall the interview itself wasn't that bad, but the whole start of the application process really left a sour taste.
