I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (Montreal, QC) in Jul 2016
Interview
first phone interview and then multiple on site interview, i knew more about the product than all the manager and HR person who interviewed me and this was a clash.
It was very down to theory about project management, the interviewer didnt give an option to easily express and felt very unconfortable. After this bad experience, I can imagine how the organizational culture might be, so happy not to work there.
Recruiter was very unprofessional. Came too late and then asked me to rescheduling and I was really surprised how unprofessional he behaved. How must be the company be when even the interview was unprofessional
I interviewed with them for about two months, from HR screening up to panel interview after a time-intensive assignment. ( which does not take 3-4 hours as they suggest, unless you were already very familiar with the AEC industry and their competitors )
During the final review, I was told the team 'moves fast' once they find a fit and to expect an answer within days.
Unfortunately, my follow-ups after one and two weeks were ignored. I eventually received a generic rejection email. When I requested specific feedback—given the two-month time investment and the assignment I had completed—my request was ignored.
While the team seemed nice during the interviews, the lack of transparency and respect for a candidate's time at the finish line was very disappointing.
