I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (London, England) in Apr 2017
Interview
I applied online on their careers website for a developer internship. Three months later, I got an email to arrange an onsite interview.
They have a huge communication problem.
Before the interview, they didn't reply to me when I asked about the interview topics (I wanted to prepare a minimum for the interview: was it going to be technical? Culture fit? etc?).
The interview itself was unconventional but interesting: we just talked and tried to figure out where my skills and experience could fit the project for the internship. At the end of it, they said they were going to send detailed feedback to each of the candidates (amazing right?), but I never got the so-called feedback email.
A month passed and I was told that "the position was still open if I was still interested". We misunderstood each other and they tried to set up a call when I wasn't free. I tried to give them other days to call me, but they didn't reply. I was finally told they were busy interviewing more candidates for the role (which didn't make much sense as I was getting the offer) and talked about the offer but I declined it.
So, overall, the role seemed interesting, but I couldn't see myself working for a branch of the company who contacts you only when they need something or are told to do so, otherwise ignores you. This whole offer looked like they didn't really like my application, went with me by default while trying to recruit other people in the meantime. Awful experience.
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
