Frequently Asked Questions

Applications and interviews

The interview process helps us get to know you, and helps you learn about our people, culture, and business. We’ll ask about your skills and experience, and you can ask us questions as well. Be prepared to tell us about your achievements and the value you could bring to Autodesk. 

In a typical interview process, you will first meet with a recruiter, then the hiring manager. Next, you may also be asked to take a functional assessment. After that, you will meet with an interview team, typically 3-4 people. 

Timing may vary based on role and location, so we suggest you speak with the recruiter for details specific to a particular role.

We do not typically provide specific interview feedback, but we make sure to update candidates on their status as soon as possible after the last interview.

First and foremost: Be yourself! Make sure your resume is up to date and aligns with the role you’re applying for. Show how your skills and previous experiences make you a great fit for the position. We also suggest learning about our Culture Code and speaking to the values that mean the most to you

Working at Autodesk

While we still strongly encourage all employees to get vaccinated for their own health, we currently do not require employees to be vaccinated. We will continue to review vaccine and testing requirements in response to the dynamic and evolving circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the health and safety of our employees remain our top priority. 

Candidates with in-person interviews at an Autodesk office will be considered “visitors” and are required to follow the same visitor guidelines (either be vaccinated or have a negative antigen test on the day of entering the office). 

We have more than 12,600 Autodeskers in 47 countries! We have three work-type categories at Autodesk: 

Office-Based: Employees work primarily from the office with a dedicated desk. 
Hybrid: Employees have the flexibility to work from home and their assigned Autodesk office.
Home-Based: Employees work from their home office and generally do not work within commuting distance of an Autodesk office.

Be sure to check out @AutodeskLife on social media, where we highlight Autodeskers from around the globe. 

Roles that are remote will be clearly mentioned as such in the job description. Most of our roles are open to being hybrid. We suggest speaking with your recruiter or hiring manager for more information. 

For hybrid roles, we do not have a set number of days you need to be in the office – it will vary by team. We believe in-person experiences are crucial to collaboration, innovation, and our connection to one another, so we make sure leaders and teams have the tools they need to adapt to hybrid work, meet with purpose, and come together in-person for collaboration, team building, and celebrations. 

We are proud to offer a competitive benefits package to full-time employees, including time away, health insurance, retirement benefits, and support for everyday living. Benefits vary by location; view U.S. benefits information here.
