I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Pune) in Nov 2024
Interview
Recruiter a call. Scheduled 1 round after basic discussion.
Tech Interview 1 by staff engg based on DSA.
After passing the first round 2 rounds were scheduled within next week.
Tech Interview 2 HLD and API designing skills.
Tech Interview 3 Technical + behavioural
Hiring manager round was scheduled after above 2 rounds.
Havent heard from the recruiter after this. It has been 1 month since last the interview (hiring manager). No feedback, no rejection nothing. Why rush through interviews when you don't even care about candidate's time and effort?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic DSA. Design this and that for HLD. All the rounds are taken bby Principal and Staff level engineers, so cannot just speak nonsense.
4 levels for senior software engineer, it is good, more involved technical questions and coding rounds, panel was good asking different set of questions, and also have been interviewing different projects took the interview call.
My interview opens with a discussion on technical decisions. Instead of just "What is a class?", the interviewer asks: "Why choose C++ over a managed language like Java or Python for your last project?"I focus my answer on predictable performance and fine-grained memory control. I explain that for our low-latency data processor, the overhead of a Garbage Collector (GC) was unacceptable. This leads naturally into a discussion on RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization). I explain that by tying resource lifespan to object lifetime, C++ allows for deterministic cleanup without the need for manual free() calls or a GC.
4 stages, 2 of them - coding interview, very similar, 3 and 4 - behavioral interview. Also require to enter your data several times (one of them - to a PDF file which has some bugs. Very "serious" approach.
