Autodesk makes software for people who make things. If you’ve ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film, chances are you’ve experienced what millions of Autodesk customers are doing with our software.

As a global leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, Autodesk helps people imagine, design, and create a better world. Autodesk accelerates better design through an unparalleled depth of experience and a broad portfolio of software to give customers the power to solve their design, manufacturing, business, and environmental challenges.

Customers across the manufacturing, architecture, building, construction, and media and entertainment industries use Autodesk software to bring their ideas to life.  In addition, Autodesk helps students, educators, and casual creators unlock their creative ideas through user-friendly applications.

Our staff are our biggest asset and we work hard to ensure that we get the best from each individual and that they get the maximum from us. We offer competitive salaries, a company pension scheme, flexible working, private medical cover, and an annual bonus scheme to enable all our staff to share in our success. We encourage our staff to get to know each other out of the office with subsidised social activities including gym membership and sports clubs.

Our graduate and placement programmes

We established our UK graduate and placement programmes ten years ago as Delcam before becoming part of Autodesk in 2014. Since then both programmes have continued to receive independent acclaim, this year we were awarded 35th place on the JobCrowd Top Graduate Employers list and our placement programme was placed 42nd in the RateMyPlacement rankings.

During the 12-month rotational graduate programme, following your initial training, you will begin a series of rotations in a variety of different teams at Autodesk. Software Engineers will gain experience in working in up to five different development scrum teams, growing your knowledge and expertise by working alongside experienced Autodesk developers across our broad range of CADCAM products.

Technical Consultants will get the opportunity to rotate around the different departments at Autodesk covering Training, Support, Consultancy Services, and Product Marketing. Again maximising the range of skills you will learn during your time with us.

For those graduates wishing to work towards professional registration we provide support for Chartered registration with both the IET and IMechE with the help of existing Autodesk Chartered Engineers.

As an international company with 10,000 staff worldwide and offices in over 100 countries opportunities for travel soon arise for those that are interested.

If you’re the sort of individual who wants to be challenged and encouraged to excel, come and work for us and we’ll ensure that you’re working on real world projects from your very first rotation and making a valuable contribution from the very start of your career with us.

Application Advice:

Be yourself. We are interested in your interests and how they can add to the company

Interview Advice:

Personality and how you present yourself are just as important than technical achievements

Manufacturing Specialist, Fusion 360 at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Be confident in your skillset - Autodesk considers a variety of related skills for the software engineering role, not just computer scientists!

Interview Advice:

There is usually an online coding test for the software engineering role so it's good to practice those a bit. And then at the interviews I was asked a couple of questions like "Why do you want to join Autodesk?", then a few questions about programming theory, and we did a maths/geometry solving exercise.

Sustainability Platform Specialist, Finance-Impact at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Interview Advice:

The technical interview is designed to see how you approach a problem rather than whether you are an expert coder, so don't stress about your programming experience. Make sure you can talk through what you are thinking, and don't be afraid to say you aren't sure!

Application Advice:

Find a balance between presenting your technical skills, your soft skills and your journey. You may feel that you are just one among hundreds of students that just graduated, but your perspective it is unique.

Interview Advice:

Practice articulating your thought processes. The path to the solution is as important as the solution itself.

Interview Advice:

Be your authentic self.

Graduate Technical Consultant, Fusion 360 Customer Advocacy at Autodesk

Application Advice:

Some strong maths and algorithmic knowledge will be helpful further on in the process but for the initial application, the important thing is why you are interested in the role and what makes you a good fit. Do some research into what Autodesk does and decide if and why the company appeals to you.

Interview Advice:

If you have some analytical skills and a good grasp of geometric space, the technical questions should not present any challenges. The purpose of the interview is to find out how you think to see if you would be a good fit for the work. Also, the interviewers are very experienced and make every effort to make you comfortable so you can just have a chat about your interests and hobbies.

Practise some trigonometry and algebra, also try and enjoy the day and meeting people.

Software Engineer, Development at Autodesk

Application Advice:

Have a smart CV that is succinct and clear. Preferably written in LaTeX.

Interview Advice:

You'll always be asked some generic software engineering questions, so brush up on your keywords (polymorphism, OOP, etc).

You'll also be asked some geometry type question, so knowing how to represent different shapes mathematically will help.

Software Engineer, Rotational at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Within the application it is always useful to mention any previous experience with Autodesk software. It is worth mentioning that all Autodesk software is free to download for students to try and gain experience.

Interview Advice:

Advice for the assessment centre is pretty generic. Do your research on the company. Possibly research some of the active projects and development efforts. There is plenty of accessible content, particularly stuff from AU Vegas and such. The assessment days are fairly relaxed and definitely not as daunting as most.

Make sure you give as much information about all aspects of yourself, not just your education.

Technical Consultant, Process Specialist Team at Autodesk

Application Advice:

Coding knowledge, preferably an object orientated one.

Interview Advice:

The interviewers will want to see an enthusiastic problem-solving attitude, but mainly be yourself.

Software Engineer, Software Development at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

My usual advice for applications is to read over job posting and think about what skills you have that align with their needs. Give a clear indication of what interests you about the company and don't be afraid to mention your own areas of interest. If, for example, you have a passion for Machine Learning then mention it, we have teams that work in all sorts of areas (from algorithms to AI to UX) and you can get a chance to work with them.

Interview Advice:

Most candidates will either have a strong mathematical background or a strong programming background. For those with a strong Maths background, I would recommend looking at some practical coding tasks. For those with a computer science background, I recommend brushing up on your geometry.

Application Advice:

Highlight your ability to be flexible with your work, and work well in a team.

Interview Advice:

Make sure to communicate effectively and clearly. If you don't understand something, ask for it to be repeated from a different angle.

Software Engineer, Software for CAD/CAM at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Knowledge of a specific programming language is not required as they provide training at the beginning of your employment, but knowledge in at least one Object-Oriented language is, in my opinion, required.

Interview Advice:

Revise your geometry. There will most likely be geometry questions.
If you realise you were wrong on a question, don't be afraid to admit it.

Software Engineer, Software & IT Development at Autodesk

Interview Advice:

C++ and Linked List.

Software Engineer, Software Development at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Understanding what Autodesk does is fundamental; not just because of helping with the interview, but knowing if the job you think you're applying for is the right job for you.

Having an understanding of CAM rather than CAD is useful - even if you haven't used it much before - look at the software we use, how we use it, what is different/unique about each package. Know what NC Code is, what Machine Tools do, and show primarily how are able to not just work in a team, but use self-initiative to work individually on something and create/design/develop something. A lot of the role is being given a task and trusted to get on with it and use your own initiative to carry it out, whilst asking for help where needs be.

Interview Advice:

Be confident, but concise. We do a lot of presentations here and confidence with the ability to articulate yourself clearly and effectively is key. However, too much 'waffle' won't help, and the ability to get your point across effectively is crucial.

Again, understand the role, what we do, what software we use, and what we are doing globally in driving innovation and being at the forefront of technology; at the end of the day if you don't know what we do and who is benefiting from our products, you won't be able to convince us that you can help add to our knowledge base.

Lastly, show you can be a friendly, confident and sociable person, it's good to know someone will not just work well in a team, but also be a pleasure to work with, talk to, and contribute to the social working environment we have here. A lot of the job is making connections and knowing the right people to help you, networking and forming those connections is key to doing this, so show your human side.

Product Specialist, International Support at Autodesk

Application Advice:

Successful applicants tend to have strong problem-solving skills and a STEM background, so try to exhibit this in your application. Also mention any programming experience or projects that you've been involved with in the past.

Interview Advice:

Prepare for a mix of problem-solving questions and the usual interview questions.

Software Engineer, Software Development at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Make sure to appear well rounded, the environment in the office is a friendly and casual one. We much prefer to take someone who has hobbies and does things outside of their academic life than someone who has forsaken their personal/social life purely to focus on academia.

Interview Advice:

Same as the application, put yourself across as a rounded person. Don't worry about saying "I don't know" to a question or two, they care less that you know all the answers and more about the way you think.

Software Engineer, Unipost at Autodesk
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Don't think that you have to have a formal background in Computer Science, as many people here have Maths or Physics degrees.
Having some programming experience helps, particularly object-oriented programming. However, I think that the most important things are: having a solid mathematical background, being able to think logically, and having a positive attitude towards learning new things!

Application Advice:

Read up on some C++ before the assessment day. Practicing some mathematical thinking in some way is also probably a good idea.

Interview Advice:

Having a reasonable grasp of object-oriented programming is probably a good idea.
(Though this does not need to be very detailed or anything, an understanding of the motivations behind OOP and a bit about how to apply it will probably suffice).

Application Advice:

Keep an open mind. With competency in CAD/CAM systems becoming definitive to the value of an engineer, Delcam is the perfect place to launch a career.

Interview Advice:

Show enthusiasm, ask questions, we are not a company of pretense. Co-workers take pride in helping one another and being available. You will not be facing a panel of "suits" but instead active employees in your field, people who, if you are successful, will become your mentors.

Application Advice:

There are two tests to pass at the assessment day. The coding test is best approached with good knowledge of c++ pointers and ideally linked lists.

Best:

The company values its employees above all else. There is a ridiculous amount of support for things like health, wellbeing and inclusivity to all types of people. Company funded social events, financial support and excellent management means your voice is always heard, respected and answered.

Worst:

As an acquisition based company, there is always new teams joining and bringing their own code, methods etc. This is mostly seen as a good thing but the constant addition of new code makes it almost impossible to streamline, standardise and optimise the entire codebase. This introduces bugs, inefficiencies and makes the developers jobs much harder.

Best:

It is interesting and varied working for a large global company like Autodesk where your coworkers work all over the world. This can open up opportunities for travel and to work with lots of different people.

Worst:

The graduate scheme only covers a small portion of the company. There isn't much opportunity to work in teams outside of those based in Birmingham - although this did improve while I was there.

Best:

They are one of the world leaders in design, engineering and digital entertainment software. There are so many opportunities with in the company for career advancement. It is a great workplace for women, very inclusive! As a women, I feel I was hired because I was competent and not because someone was trying to ticket a diversity check box (unlike how many companies make me feel), they are trying to make sure they have a diverse work force without compromising on their integrity.

Worst:

Little connection with the other offices. Despite being a global company, most teams are inside one office at one location which means fewer global opportunities (without having to switch the software you are working on entirely). Additionally, the best opportunities can often be quite San Francisco centric.
