      Software Engineer Interview

      30 May 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Novi, MI
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (Novi, MI)

      Interview

      Process took a few months. Met with engineer at school career fair. Got a phone interview where we talked about some general object oriented programming practices (can you explain class inheritance?) and some C++ specifics (talk about memory management in C++). After the phone interview, they had me come in to the Novi office. Throughout a very pleasant day, I spoke with several engineers and other people on the Inventor team. Each person talked with me about a specific area. One portion was an Object Oriented Design session where we made the outline for the classes we would use in a program and the interviewer added new features as we went on to test how robust my solutions were. Another interview focused on more nitty-gritty C++ trivia and usage (how are smart pointers implemented, why is ++i faster than i++). Another section was your standard data structure interview, but unlike interviews with Microsoft, Amazon, etc. the interviewer was very pleasant and didn't unnecessarily add pressure to the interview. Another portion dealt with group processes, how I've worked with groups, workflows I've experienced, etc. They paid for lunch and I got a chance to talk with a couple of team members and ask them some questions. Overall, the experience was pleasant. The hiring manager ended up saying that the team held me in high regard, but business necessities pushed them to cut the funding they would have needed for my position.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Autodesk in Apr 2026

      Interview

      I first had a call with the recruiter to discuss the role, my background, and my experience. After that, I was invited to Round 1 with the manager. The interview was mostly behavioral and focused heavily on teamwork, collaboration, and communication-related topics. Toward the end, there were also a few technical questions covering C++, DSA fundamentals, and other stuff related to the role. Overall, the process felt professional and respectful. The manager was kind, approachable, and treated me with respect throughout the interview.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Autodesk in Mar 2026

      Interview

      1. Nice call with HR After 15 days they send a message and scheduled for next day interview 2. technical interview it was quite hard and it took 57 out of 60 minutes, it was heavy technical interview. I did at least average, they were asking mutexes, design patterns and a lot of other stuff Finally they decided not to move forward due to some magic missing AI requirement that they never asked and job posting does not have. I belive its a compliment that they did not said anything about missing C++ skills but still quite sad result.
