My experience interviewing with Autodesk has been extremely disappointing. This is the second time I have gone through their full interview process, only to be rejected at the very end. In both cases, I received positive feedback throughout the process and was advanced from one round to the next based on my performance. The interview loop consisted of four rounds and required a significant investment of time, preparation, and energy. What makes the experience particularly frustrating is receiving only a generic rejection after completing the entire process, despite being encouraged throughout the interviews. While I understand that not every candidate can be selected, a more transparent and respectful process would go a long way. Based on my experience, candidates should be prepared for a lengthy interview process and manage their expectations accordingly. Unfortunately, I felt that a substantial amount of my time was invested without meaningful feedback or clear communication regarding the final decision.

The process began with a recruiter screen, followed by a case study (take home exercise) that I reviewed with the hiring manager after being given 24 hours to complete it. Two behavioral interviews back to back concluded the process.

1st talk with hiring manager just casual, soft skills, nothing serious but you have to leave good vibe 2nd talk with team members technical, more specific, going into details, be precise and bold
