The interview process consisted of four separate phone calls:

• An initial call from Autodesk's internal recruiter to set up an interview with the hiring manager.
• A one-hour interview with the hiring manager.
• Two follow-up interviews, each an hour long and with a small group.

The schedule, including date, time, conference line number, and passcodes, was coordinated by Autodesk and communicated via email. All interviews followed a similar format: introductions, an explanation of the interview structure, and the interview questions themselves.
