I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Autodesk (Pune) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn and got a call from their HR. The role was C++ based.
1st round was telephonic interview where I was asked questions mostly C++ OOPS concepts, STL and smart pointers.
I was scheduled for a F2F within a couple of days.
There are 2 FTF interviews where 1st is more of technical with C++ OOPS concepts, DS and algorithms, STL, constructors, one logical programming question and one puzzle. The questions included basic maths and geometry concepts to solve. The 2nd interview is more or less technical+HR based.
The interviewers give enough time to listen to your approach and are also ready to help in you in the right direction.
Make sure you revise basic maths and geometry concepts regarding vectors, transformation matrices
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
In an array of elements occurring twice consecutively, find element occurring only once. For e.g in an array 4,4,2,2,3,5,5 output must be 3
For a rectangular paper with given length and breadth, write a program to find the minimum number of squares that can be cut so that entire paper is consumed.
Typical software engineer process. First telephone resume screening. and then OA and then Onsite interview. Each step is average difficult. But HR did ask some personal private questions which made me unconfortable.
3 rounds, not that stressful, love the environment. more like to chat. And maybe it would be better to prepare some tech questions, it sould be really helpful. But the tech comes until the second, and third round is more like behavior questions.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Autodesk in Apr 2026
Interview
I first had a call with the recruiter to discuss the role, my background, and my experience. After that, I was invited to Round 1 with the manager.
The interview was mostly behavioral and focused heavily on teamwork, collaboration, and communication-related topics. Toward the end, there were also a few technical questions covering C++, DSA fundamentals, and other stuff related to the role.
Overall, the process felt professional and respectful. The manager was kind, approachable, and treated me with respect throughout the interview.
