I applied online. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I received an email the day after I applied for the role, and then the day after that had a phone screen with the recruiter. 4 days later, I had a 2nd phone call with one of the directors the role would be supporting. The following week, they brought me in for onsite interviews with about 4 people. The next day, I found out they decided to pass because they wanted someone with more experience in global travel coordination. Up until the onsite, I would have said I had a GREAT experience; however, after their verdict was extremely disappointed that the reason they decided to pass on my candidacy was for a reason that could have been found out in the very first phone call with the recruiter.
Not only was Autodesk's time wasted, but I felt like mine was too. The time spend prepping for the interviews, etc... I would recommend their recruiters being a little more strict with their phone screens to help save other candidates the misery of thinking they have it in the bag and then dropping them at the very last second for something that could have been dealt with right at the beginning.

I applied online. I interviewed at Autodesk (Budapest) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview was relaxed and friendly; they showed me around the office, and I came away with a very positive impression. The HR representative asked me a lot of questions about my experience and answered my questions in just as much detail.

Standard questions about my resume and work experience, as well as challenging situations I’ve encountered
Phone interview was quick and questions were not difficult at all. Person I spoke with was straight to the point. Was asked about 5 questions and questions were easy to understand.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Denver, CO) in Jun 2018
Interview
I initially was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone interview. It was about thirty minutes with two people and then they asked me to come in for an in person interview. I met with one person for 30 minutes and then I met with the two ladies from the phone interview as well as another recruiter on speaker phone. They were so nice and made me feel so comfortable. I was really nervous and they were so kind and let me take my time answering each question. I was in the top two and they picked the other candidate but the lady that I interviewed with sent me a really nice rejection letter, sounds weird but it wasn’t just a generic rejection. It was a really positive experience and I still hope to work here one day!
