A few days after applying, the recruiter called me and immediately asked if I could interview the following day or the day after. The timeline for the entire application process was ridiculous. Another person I know who applied for a different position had to postpone their interview for legitimate reasons. They were then somewhat pushed to the back of the line and never got around to interviewing with Autodesk, as the company had filled the spot for that opening.

The interview itself was on Zoom. The interviewers were from the testing team, and they were generally nice and friendly. The interview consisted of two simple algorithm questions and three SQL queries. After that, I waited a whole month to learn that Autodesk was rejecting my application.

Overall, the interview itself wasn't that bad, but the start of the application process really left a sour taste.
