They are saying the right words, but the culture change will still take some time.

Autodesk Interview Questions
Autodesk Interview Experiences
Distinguished Engineer
Talked to the recruiter and hiring manager. The first one was about 30 minutes, and the second one was about an hour. Very professional process. The interview was easy, but there was not enough alignment.
Principal Software Engineer
The interview process involved a recruiter round, an HM round, and a technical screen round. This process was frustrating and very slow. I had to follow up with the recruiter and a scheduler at every stage. It took them 2-3 weeks to get back to me
Artificial Intelligence Intern
Did not have an OA (online assessment). Sent an interview scheduling request a few weeks after submitting the initial application. The first round is mostly behavioral, scheduled for around 45 minutes on the calendar.
