I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk
Interview
Submitted my resume and work samples through their online job application. Received an email from an Autodesk recruiter a month later.
The recruiter arranged a phone interview with me and was very accommodating to my schedule. We spent half an hour having a friendly conversation on the phone. We discussed the product and ways to improve it. She asked specific questions that clarified the role and experience level. I didn't do too well on these questions since I don't have much experience in product management.
By the end of our chat it was clear I was not qualified for the job, but she was still interested in my background and asked if she could forward my information to another department that was looking for someone with my background.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience estimating and managing a project budget? If so, can you describe how you managed a project's cost?
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.
