      Community Manager Interview

      12 Jun 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      I interviewed with Autodesk over the span of 2 months and received a reply after an additional month. Interviews: 1. phone screening with a recruiter 2. 1:1 video interview with the hiring manager 3. (3) separate 1:1 video interviews with the each senior manager in charge of a specific region The recruiter was terrible! She was in charge of setting up all the interviews, and would take sometimes a week to reply to a simple question. She also failed to give necessary interview information, such as the names of people interviewing, titles, and relationship to the open role. I often felt ignored. For my last round of interviews, the recruiter eventually outsourced her work to HR personnel. HR was excellent--often replying after 1 or 2 days, sometimes immediately. The video interviews all went well, and I was even called "impressive" by one of the managers. Unfortunately, I was surprised to find that I didn't get the job. They made their selection during the beginning of SIP, so I'm not sure if that was a factor. I was really disappointed that after all my work--acquiring a reference, writing a custom cover letter/resume, and 5 interviews, all I got was an automated rejection letter! "The bad news: this position has been filled. The good news: we have lots of exciting open roles still available." No explanation. No care or thought. Later I found out that they decided to fill 2 of the 3 open roles with internal hires--with one role still pending, but most likely would be filled with another internal hire. This decision could've been made to ensure no layoffs, but I'm disappointed in the way everything was handled. The least they could've done was write a personalized rejection letter. Instead, I was treated like a number, not a person. Ironic, seeing as this was for a community manager role.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you want to work at Autodesk? (phone screening) How does your previous experience with [xxx] prepare you for this role? Describe your workflow. What would you improve about the site to generate more traffic? How would you measure success? What analytics tools do you use? How would you engage with an aggressive user? This is a global role, how would you handle work-life balance?
