    Only two rounds in total First round: project deep dive Second round: system design - "Design a real-time data processing system that consumes changes from operational databases, combines data from multiple sources, and maintains a queryable output dataset with low latency. Walk through the architecture you would choose and how you would handle correctness, updates and deletes, ordering, state, f…

  • Autodesk Software Engineer interview with shifting expectationsAutodesk · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

The first half was technical and the second was behavior…

  • Autodesk Software Engineer interview: longest-substring DSA screenAutodesk · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
    Rejected

    After a recruiter call, I entered a structured sequence. I started with a short introduction about a university or personal project, then had a technical screen with one medium-level DSA problem: finding the longest substring without repeating characters. The interviewer followed up on complexity, edge cases, and possible optimizations. Later, I went through a deeper track with senior and princip…
