12 Autodesk interview questions

  1. How would you calculate the height of a binary tree? Talk me through the logic before you write anything, then give me the complexity.

  2. Now print the left view of a binary tree — the first node you'd see at each level from the left. Then, can you do it without recursion?

  3. Implement binary search for me and tell me its complexity. What edge cases would you test?

  4. Will you work efficiently with people you don't know yet? Tell me about a time you joined a team of strangers and had to deliver.

  5. Tell me about feedback you received on your code.

  6. How do you decide when something is tested enough?

  7. Talk me through your reasoning on a problem you have not seen before.

  8. You have a grid with obstacles and you need to find whether there's a path from point A to point B. How would you approach it, and how would you get the shortest path?

  9. How would you rotate a square matrix by ninety degrees in place?

  10. Explain runtime polymorphism — use shapes on a drawing canvas as your example.

  11. What are the ACID properties, and why would they matter when a user saves a drawing that has version history?

  12. Walk us through a project you built and a decision you would now make differently.

What a strong answer does

The questions above fall into 2 kinds. What a strong answer does differs by kind, not by question.

Technical8 of 12 above
State the intuition first; walk through the mechanics; make assumptions explicit; test a risk or edge case; connect the answer to the role.
Behavioral4 of 12 above
Lead with the claim and context; isolate your personal action and decision; explain the trade-off; quantify the result; finish with what you learned and changed.

How these questions were researched

Every question carries a provenance grade. Some were reported by candidates who sat the round, some come from the firm’s own published guidance or a source that trains for it, and the rest are written to match how this firm asks. Each seat is studied on its own — the round it actually runs, the order it runs it in, and what it is listening for. A Autodesk round is not a generic behavioural screen, and practising one as the other is how people walk in unprepared.
