Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
One manager contacted me by phone and we had a discussion for a few minutes. He just asked about me. He asked if I would like to shift to Singapore and what my notice period would be. He also asked for three strong points and three weak points about myself.
Then there was no contact for about 15 days. I thought he didn't like me based on the above short discussion.
One day, he called me again and asked to schedule a technical interview. I asked him to schedule it for a few days later. He then insisted why it couldn't be on the next day. So I agreed, and I was interviewed the next day without any preparation.
The technical interview started with my projects. Then we discussed C++ (virtual functions, copy constructor, assignment operator, STL, templates). I was not able to answer questions on STL and templates. They asked if I had worked on UI and if I knew MFC. I replied that I had worked on UI but had never used MFC and described the UICOMP framework to them. They asked me to do one code review and to write two programs (the desktop was shared):
- To count a specific word in a text file.
- To count positive bits in an integer.
The technical interview was about 1.5 hours.

- 4.0Echoes of the glory daysSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMontreal, Quebec, CanadaFebruary 22, 2009Pros: Autodesk Media & Entertainment (formerly Discreet Logic) is a relaxed work environment. The building itself is a renovated boat factory, giving it a very industrial-chic design. Fluorescent-colored chairs decorate the lobby, where you also find several high-definition TVs on rolling pods. You will find the latest game consoles and games to relax during lunch hours or the always popular weekly cocktail on Friday afternoon. Beer, wine, chips, and theatre-style popcorn are all available free of charge to wrap up the week. Major software releases are also celebrated with parties. You will find very passionate people at Autodesk, proud of their work and the reputation of their product suite.Cons: Autodesk has recently become this software monster, swallowing smaller companies at an alarming rate, to the point that it now faces competition within its own product line (Maya vs. 3D Studio Max). The acquisition of Discreet Logic is still not fully popular among the Montreal employees. Some relinquish the "glory days," which can leave newcomers wondering if they missed the boat. Recent compressions worldwide have also affected the morale in the company. Autodesk has a tradition of hiring lots of interns every single term, but the opportunities for employment beyond internships are slim at best. Furthermore, if an opportunity arises, there are strings attached, like a limited duration and few benefits.
