The hiring process at Autodesk takes an average of 21 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles.

I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Autodesk
Interview
I applied for the job in January 2021 for Lead RPA developer via LinkedIn.
I was reached out and asked to deliver a full fledged assignment with SDD and project file which I duly delivered in mentioned time limit.
However, I got a rejection on the same at 18th August 2021.
No reasons given so ofcourse an unpleasant experience. Just a piece of advice to Hiring team please be cognizant to the effort and toiling a candidate goes through to deliver your assignment and atleast be courteous to respond atleast on time.

Question 1
Exercise Overview
This coding exercise covers a wide range of UiPath specific activities and can be completed in a variety of different ways. However, there are 6 requirements that must be adhered to:
1. The coding MUST utilize the UiPath ReFramework. Any code submissions that do not utilize the ReFramework will automatically be labelled as failed submissions
2. All browser activities MUST use Internet Explorer
3. You MUST create all the files as requested in the exercise
4. You MUST write a short summarized paragraph on how you created the code (PDD and/or
SDD formats are encouraged but not required)
5. You MUST create a zip file which contains your completed UiPath code (including all project
subdirectories) and the CSV files
6. You MUST name the zip file using the following format:
<OrchestratorTenantName.YourFirstName.YourLastName>.zip and send to finance.rpa.dev.interview
Go to the list of states within the United State in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_territories_of_the_United_States)
2. Extract the table containing the 50 states
3. Create a table called “WikiStateTable” that contains the following column headings and data (the column in red listed below is a “bonus column” meaning it is not required but counts as “extra credit”):
a. StateNum - (number assigned to each state – each state should be assigned a number 1 - 50)
b. StateCapital – Should contain the Capital of each state
c. Abbreviation – Should contain the 2 character abbreviation of each state
d. StateName – (This is a Bonus column) – Should contain the full name of the state
4. Select 4 states at random from the WikiStateTable (Each time this automation runs, it should select different states) and create a new table called “ZipCodeTable” that should contain 4 states records with the following columns:
a. StateNum – copied from WikiStateTable
b. StateCapital – copied from WikiStateTable c. Abbreviation – copied from WikiStateTable d. ZipCodeNum – null value
e. ZipCodes – null value
Fill in the ZipCodeTable with the number of zip codes in the ZipCodeNum column and the actual zip codes placed in the ZipCodes column (each zip code should be separated by the “|” pipe symbol) for each of the 4 states.
6. For each state in the ZipCodeTable, you will create an equal amount of CSV files and Excel files that match the number in the ZipCodeNum column. Each CSV file and Excel file will be named the same as the ZipCode listed in the ZipCode column and the data within each file will also be the Zip Code number.
c. Example – ZipCodeNum is 3 and ZipCodes is 12345|67891|13579 then you will have the following results:
i. CSV Files
1. 12345.csv (the file will contain the number 12345)
2. 67891.csv (the file will contain the number 67891)
3. 13579.csv (the file will contain the number 13579)
ii. XLSX Files
1. 12345.xlsx (Cell A1 will contain 12345)
2. 67891.xlsx (Cell A1 will contain 67891)
3. 13579.xlsx (Cell A1 will contain 13579)
7. Create a short summarized document of how you created the code (PDD and/or SDD formats are encouraged but not required). Please include a list of the project dependencies used in the automation.
8. Create a zip file that contains the following:
a. UiPath code (including all subdirectories of the project)
b. All csv files
c. All xlsx files
d. WikiStateTable exported to WikiStateTable.csv
e. ZipCodeTable exported to ZipCodeTable.csv
f. Document describing summary of code
Interview was Smooth and could answer most of the ones. Interview Questions were from the part which i had worked on. Overall interview process was quick too. Interviewer was polite too
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Dallas, TX) in Jun 2022
Interview
This is a interview review for the Autodesk Construction Cloud division.
The interview process started well. But, for the first time I had a bad experience with such a renowned big company. Usually companies like Autodesk have better during & follow up interview process and have empathy.
In my second round of interview with the Hiring Manager, I was told that I was good but not the best and they wanted some rockstar Product Manager. They said that I would be fit to be a Jr Product Manager and perhaps be able to land a Sr. PM job in a smaller company. No issues with the fact that they did not find my experience to be upto the mark of what the sr product manager would be if I worked there. I feel they could have seen my resume and been able to decide that even before they asked to interview me.
The above experience still would have been fine, if I received some sort of rejection email from them. The HR never followed up. I followed up with him a 1.5 weeks after the interview just to understand the reasoning. He did not even reply to my email. I was pretty much ghosted.
Fortunately, I was able to find a good job at a good company soon thereafter.
I wanted to mention this because after my maternity career break, I did have some difficulty landing a job and the right people/ company saw beyond that but, this wasn't a great experience. I have a solid career prior to the maternity break.
