I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Autodesk (Lucknow) in Nov 2023
Interview
There were three interview rounds which were held on-campus. In the first round, they asked questions on my final-year project discussing about the various tech-stacks like ReactJS and how did I implemented the authentication part of that website using JWT token. Later on, they also asked some basic DSA questions related to linked list and strings. In the subsequent rounds, they asked me deep questions on C++ pointers, NodeJS and MongoDB ranging from direct theory questions to the implementation part. Third round was a good composition of HR round and technical as the interviewer asked me my favourite music composer followed by making me write down the database of a popular audio-editing software known as Audacity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How did you implement the authentication page of your website using JWT tokens ? Apart from JWT token, what else can you use for the same ?
2. What are the various queries you can use in MongoDB for achieving CRUD operations in your project ?
3. Design the database for a music-editing software like Audacity displaying various tables like albums, tracks, effects etc.
4. Reverse a linked list.
5. How does a Google-Pay API work and how does your website come to know whether a payment through an external interface is successful or not ?
6. Reverse a string using proper classes and all so that all the properties of object-oriented programming can be used in a single programming file. Also, instead of directly taking inputs from the console, you have to allow users to make choices on taking inputs while abstracting the input methods from the user at the same time ?
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.
The interview lasted for 2 hours and they asked me to design a full stack web application using react and node.js, including coding and api design.
You need to write both frontend and backend code.
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.
