I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk in Dec 2010
Interview
Phone interview was comfortable, with a personable interviewer who shared plenty of information about the role, the team, the work environment along with personal anecdotes which made the company that much more interesting. They were very honest and upfront about the process, how long it might take, and who to contact if I had any questions, wanted feedback or additional information.
One-to-one interview was challenging but comfortable - lots of thought-provoking questions about my experience and how it related to the role at hand.
All in all the experience was pleasant, and the follow-up feedback was well thought out.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Autodesk
Interview
It was fairly straightforward process. I had a conversation with the hiring manager, then a panel interview where I presented a former project, then individual 1-1 interviews with 3 xfn partners.

Question 1
How do you plan on getting up to speed on the construction industry?
It was a great interview process as I was able to understand what was expected of me from beginning to end in a timely manner. I also was able to have my interview questions addressed with clarity and enthusiasm.

The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Autodesk (Boston, MA)
Interview
Autodesk has has reached out to me as a candidate for three different marketing jobs. Each time the recruiter talks up the opportunity, says I meet all the qualifiers, and has proceed to move me along in the process. In total, I have had 15 interviews and one on-site tour of their office and have only received overwhelming positive feedback. Six months into the process, I have received no formal rejection and no offers. After following up one last time, I have moved on from ever considering working for the company. I am disappointed with the lack of respect for my time and poor communication. I hope that they will improve their processes before wasting more candidates time in the future!
