I applied online. I interviewed at Autodesk (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Applied on linkedIn. After 3-4 weeks a technical hr contacted me. One Technical phone screen on skype with lead QA. A few technical questions on automation process, testng, java, selenium and REST API and was asked to solve one coding question . In Second round, I was asked to take a hacker rank test which had 3 coding questions. Third round is onsite interview with 4 ( Engg manager, one Architect, lead QA, one developer). I answered almost all questions. Did not do well for test cases for google spread sheet at system level because that was the last question with the Manager and we ran out of time. For 3 weeks I was in contact with the recruiter to know the feed back and gave up. One day I got call from the recruiter saying that they hired internal candidate. I say its neutral experience because, because they did not select me I tried other companies and got 4 better offers than Autodesk.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (Montreal, QC) in May 2016
Interview
I applied for the position about six weeks prior to getting an official response. And then, after having a phone interview, I was told they would get back to me by early next week, but it turned out my contact needed feedback from the hiring manager. I contacted them again later that week but there was some tech convention that caused most of the employees to be out of the office, so I had to wait an extra week after that before finally being informed that my profile wasn't what they were looking for. While I can live with not being accepted, I feel like having to wait about 2 months to find that out in part because of bad timing was just frustrating.

Question 1
Being a phone screen I was asked assorted basic questions, including what my salary expectations were.
One phone call from the recruiter. Total jerk. His attitude was that I should be very happy they called and that it was for me to prove my worth. He questioned every role I had on my resume, and not out of curiosity, but out of skepticism. There is nothing like being put on trial for a job interview. He basically proved, to me, that I would not want to work at Autodesk.

Question 1
Asked my why I went to business school and ended up in the field I am currently in. Out of choice! Very condescending attitude.
