I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Autodesk (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
The Interview process at Autodesk is slightly different from other companies as you are contacted directly by your manager under whom you are going to be potentially working under. The interview process consists of one or two phone calls. Autodesk rarely calls for on-site interview . I was contacted by my manager to set-up a phone call. The call was pretty formal and he asked me about my previous work-experience and described what the work as part of the internship was going to be. The interviewer delved a little into the projects that I had worked on before as part of my other internship. At the end of the interview I was told that I was going to have another call with a manager from another collaborating team/vertical. The call was set-up two days later. The other phone call was pretty much the same. The focus is on your past experience, because you will only be shortlisted for the opportunity if you have any past experience. After the call I received an email from the manager that I will receive a call regarding final verdict. After 3 days I received a confirmation with the details of the internship such as pay, duration, perks and benefits etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are some skills that you have acquired so far that you can use during this internship.
Biggest red flag is the HR at Autdesk, super unresponsive and always give very vague responses. But most of the time they don't reply to your genuine queries and just ghost you. Takes about 2-3 weeks to reply to my 1 question. It's crazy. If I'm accepted/not I believe HR should give closure, it's super inconsiderate man.
Interviewers during technical round were super nice as well as the hiring manager during the behavioral round was really nice as well.
The interview was somewhat tricky. I had 3 interviewers that I knew afterwards, they were quite senior people.
The first half of the interview was about my experiences as well as some behavioural question, then i had few questions about databases then a coding question. I had to do it on the board, speaking out loud. it wasn't complex but required a bit of focus.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (Montreal, QC) in Mar 2025
Interview
interviewer seemed unprepared, asked irrelevant questions (gotcha type), very disorganized and unprofessional throughout, i felt the interviewer barely listened and interrupted me halfway through. would not recommand for an internship or job
