The whole process took 1.5 years. I visited headquarters as part of an alternative spring break with my university and then applied for a summer internship. I had already accepted an offer and started working for a different company when Autodesk called to interview me. After that, I maintained the relationship through LinkedIn for a year to try for a position the next summer. Through that relationship, I was successful and got one of the best internship positions at the company. The most important step was the Management Team Interview, for which I prepped by looking up everyone on the call on LinkedIn to understand their backgrounds so I would know what technical level to speak at and know what rhetoric would be most effective to give satisfying answers. (For the second time through...) 1. Resume and cover letter through career portal. 2. Call with recruiter pre-interview to determine best fit job to interview for. 3. Pre-interview with low level and contingent team members. (2 People, engineers, non technical interview) 4. Direct Manager Interview (1 Person, direct manager, non-technical interview) 5. Management Team Interview (4 People, direct manager, direct manager's boss, and 2 other managers, non technical interview) Total people who interviewed me = 7 Total number of interviews = 4 (2 individual, 2 group @ 2 and 4 person sizes)
