Process consists of multiple rounds, starting with recruiter screening and it took around 3-4 weeks. Two screenings with hiring manager including long coding exercise followed by panel rounds (2 coding, 2 behavioral, 1 system design/presentation).
The interview process was extremely lengthy, involving seven rounds, only to be rejected based on the skill set. This felt quite insensitive, as it seemed they should not have pursued candidates without a strong skill match from the start. Additionally, while I shared a detailed presentation during the process, it appears that these interviews might also be used to gather ideas from candidates as well
2 system design, 1 coding, 1 hiring manager.
System design focussed on standard questions (design a room reservation system and a messenger).
The coding interview was very simple.
Hiring manager screen involved digging deeper into the past experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Recruiter round - HM round - technical screen round.
The process is frustrating and very slow. I had to follow up with the recruiter and a scheduler at every stage.
It took them 2 -3 weeks to get back from each round. After stringing me along for 6 weeks and repeatedly requesting for next steps they rejected me without any feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Usual tech recruiter round and HM questions. Everyone was extremely disorganized and had no clue about the position. They kept saying this is a new position and they're figuring out stuff.
