Autodesk interview questions

The HR sounded very picky and made judgements right at the interview, and she also shared negative reviews about the HM and the previous incumbent with me at the interview. For the whole interview she didn't ask any meaningful questions other than "tell me about yourself". In addition, she asked me to submit additional information via email after the interview but never had further feedback/replies, which made me feel not being respected. All in all, very negative interview experience.

Interview Experience – Autodesk (Software Development Intern – 6 Months) Interview Mode: Virtual Internship Duration: 6 months Total Rounds: 3(Eliminatory) Round 1: Online Assessment The interview process started with an online assessment conducted on Scaler. which consisted of four coding questions. Difficulty level: 2 questions were relatively easy 2 questions were quite challenging (in my opinion) After clearing the online assessment, there was a resume shortlisting round. Technical Interview – Round 1 (Eliminatory) This was the first technical interview round. Although the job description mentioned C++, React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, the interview focused entirely on C++. Questions Asked: Reverse a string using C++ In-depth questions on C++ pointers, including: Use of * (dereference operator) Difference between pointer to const vs const pointer Why pointers are used and how they work internally The interviewer first asked about my proficiency in C++ and then required me to code exclusively in C++. While I am more comfortable and proficient in Python, my knowledge of advanced C++ concepts (especially pointers) was limited, which caused some confusion during the discussion. The interviewer seemed primarily interested in strong fundamentals of C++, rather than other technologies mentioned in the job requirements. Outcome I was rejected after Round 1, so Round 2 did not take place. Overall Experience In my opinion, I was not the right fit for the role based on the interviewer’s expectations, as the interview heavily emphasized deep C++ fundamentals, whereas my strengths lie more in Python and other technologies. That said, the interview process was structured, and the expectations were clear during the interview itself.
