      Data Engineer Interview

      Jun 7, 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Autodesk

      Interview

      My experience interviewing with Autodesk has been extremely disappointing. This is the second time I have gone through their full interview process, only to be rejected at the very end. In both cases, I received positive feedback throughout the process and was advanced from one round to the next based on my performance. The interview loop consisted of four rounds and required a significant investment of time, preparation, and energy. What makes the experience particularly frustrating is receiving only a generic rejection after completing the entire process, despite being encouraged throughout the interviews. While I understand that not every candidate can be selected, a more transparent and respectful process would go a long way. Based on my experience, candidates should be prepared for a lengthy interview process and manage their expectations accordingly. Unfortunately, I felt that a substantial amount of my time was invested without meaningful feedback or clear communication regarding the final decision.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Autodesk (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Had a phone screening with recruiter to determine fit. He asked about current experience and knowledge about the company. Later a technical interview was scheduled that was quite difficult. That interview revolved around coding questions in python and SQL, as well as data engineering concepts
