      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Autodesk (Montreal, QC)

      Interview

      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.

      Question 1

      What is a difficult time when you had to work with stakeholders?

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      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.

      Director of Engineering Interview

      3 May 2015
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      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.
