      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk (Singapore)

      Interview

      Some basic OO questions over the phone by a recruiter, then get invited to the site for another 3hour interview with 3 engineers (1hour each) on C++, OO design question and standard algorithm, IQ, EQ questions. Nothing especially hard on C++, if you have good hand on experience, but do read up a bit to revise what you have learnt. Do expect to write code on the spot, but not to worry so much if you do have programming experience, these questions are just to understand your actual coding skills, and not trying to pushing hard on you. Do get mentally prepared to come out with OO solution for geometry related question, again, nothing is especially hard here, use your common sense and a bit of OO experience, you can get pass this with some helps from the interviewer. I think the key is not to get the perfect solution in the shortest amount of time, the key here is to voice out your thought, interact with the interviewer, and making progress in the discussion, to show how you think is more important than the solution itself, but of course, if you can come out with some solution with clear thought process, that would be the best. Lastly, standard algorithm, IQ, EQ questions will be asked. Just be relax and try your best. To summarise, it would be good if you can answer all questions but in the end, it also depend on luck (other factors you can't control: e.g. (1) number of hired position vs number of interview candidate x how strong is your competitors, if the ratio is high, meaning your chance to get hired is higher. (2) whether you know the answer to the questions being asked, sometimes it is just by luck, because nobody is super human that can know everything (3) your interviewers interpretation of your strength also matter)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      for junior position, you should really know one programming language (if not C++) quite well. for senior position, your programming language skill should be solid, and problem solving skill should be relatively impressive.

      I interviewed at Autodesk

      Interview

      Stage 1: Hiring Manager interview My first interview was with Mariella. She was very kind, explained the process clearly, and was very helpful throughout the different stages. Stage 2: Technical assessment The second stage was a technical assessment. The instructions mentioned that it should take around one hour to complete. Stage 3: Technical review After that, I had an interview with Fabrizio, where we reviewed what I had done in the technical assessment. He was very friendly, easy to talk to, and gave off very good vibes. Overall, this part of the process was very positive. Stage 4: System design interview The final stage was the system design interview, and this is where the experience became uncomfortable. The interview was with Chris, and it was the only interview in the process that was not recorded. From the beginning, the atmosphere felt strange—not necessarily hostile, but definitely uncomfortable and not very welcoming. During the interview, there was no positive feedback at any point, and the attitude felt quite apathetic. Overall, it was a poor experience, especially compared to the previous stages. Overall experience: In general, the process was good, especially the first stages with Mariella and Fabrizio. However, the last interview was a negative experience and affected my overall perception of the process.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      The technical challenge was based on designing or implementing a parking lot system. The main focus was on how to manage the parking lot logic, including availability, vehicle handling, and the overall structure of the solution.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      The system design exercise was based on designing a platform similar to Booking.com, with a strong focus on how the system connects with multiple hotel APIs. The most important part of the discussion was the integration with those external APIs, including: - How to connect with different hotel providers. - What happens if one or more APIs fail. - How to keep hotel data available and updated. - How to handle the booking process across external systems. - How to recover from failures during the reservation flow. - How to structure the database schema to support the system. The key focus was not only the database design, but especially the reliability and handling of the external hotel API integrations.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Autodesk (Michigan City, IN)

      Interview

      My interview opens with a discussion on technical decisions. Instead of just "What is a class?", the interviewer asks: "Why choose C++ over a managed language like Java or Python for your last project?"I focus my answer on predictable performance and fine-grained memory control. I explain that for our low-latency data processor, the overhead of a Garbage Collector (GC) was unacceptable. This leads naturally into a discussion on RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization). I explain that by tying resource lifespan to object lifetime, C++ allows for deterministic cleanup without the need for manual free() calls or a GC.
