I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Autodesk (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
Had a phone interview where they asked me a bit about my background and experience, sent me a take home test, had a second phone interview where we went over my test and then asked me a few coding questions. Nothing too difficult, just broad stuff that any decent programmer should know.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between a language like C++ and Javascript?
No chit-chat, introduction or any behavioral question. Was questioned about past projects and then straight to technical test. Data structure, algorithm, etc. Some problems are given and must write the codes on the whiteboard. Coding skill is everything they need.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Simple Process. Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, had a skype interview, then an onsite, and then last call with director. Recruiter contacted in the evening with the offer details. The entire process took about 2 weeks.
More about offer details: I've more then 2 years of professional experience, so I was expecting more salary then what I was getting in my previous company. But the offer was awful and I felt insulted. Firstly, the base salary was less then what I was getting in my previous company, secondly I didn't get any RSU's, and sign-on bonus was non-existent. I was also told that there is little to no bonus structure as well. I didn't know how to even start negotiating my offer as well but when I tried, I was straight away said no, and hence I declined the offer. It was completely awful experience!

Question 1
1. Pretty standard algorithmic questions.
2. They read your resume really well. So make sure that whatever you write, you know the stuff really well
