I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview process was pretty straightforward. There were no surprises, and the interviewers were very professional. The questions were meant to find out more about my fit for the position, and the skills I could bring to the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you deal with difficult people? How do you control scope creep?
Recruiter was very unprofessional. Came too late and then asked me to rescheduling and I was really surprised how unprofessional he behaved. How must be the company be when even the interview was unprofessional
I interviewed with them for about two months, from HR screening up to panel interview after a time-intensive assignment. ( which does not take 3-4 hours as they suggest, unless you were already very familiar with the AEC industry and their competitors )
During the final review, I was told the team 'moves fast' once they find a fit and to expect an answer within days.
Unfortunately, my follow-ups after one and two weeks were ignored. I eventually received a generic rejection email. When I requested specific feedback—given the two-month time investment and the assignment I had completed—my request was ignored.
While the team seemed nice during the interviews, the lack of transparency and respect for a candidate's time at the finish line was very disappointing.
