I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Met with team I would be managing as well as many other senior members of staff. Also went through assessment conducted by the firm of PDI. The interview wasn't very organized as each person/group ended up asking the same questions. I think they're getting better at this, though. The PDI assessment was stressful.

Question 1
Interview questions centered mostly around what I've done and how I work with people and teams. The PDI assessment was an all day session where I was given various mock situations and tests and had to respond accordingly. Stressful.
Round of 5 interviews with various eng leaders, in the end I was ghosted by the recruiter after completing a full round. Left a negative feeling given the time investment.

There were five rounds of interviews: Talent Acquisition, Hiring Manager, peer (director), director reports (managers), and indirect reports (individual contributors). The first three were largely behavioural. The last two touched on some technical topics.
