Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
2 phone screens: 1 recruiter, 2 principals on the same call.
4 Virtual Onsite: 1 Principal Engineer, 2 Hiring Managers, 1 Director.
Phone screen: Medium LeetCode and a quick system design overview.
Virtual Onsite: Lot of behavioral questions.
They move really fast. The entire process took 2 weeks.
Declined because I was expecting more in the offer. In general, I have seen salaries are less at Autodesk compared to other companies. So, make sure you set expectations with the recruiter before you start interviewing.
Overall, I enjoyed the process and the team was great. I would have definitely joined if they had even matched the lower band in my range.
