There were three phases for recruiting procedures. The first stage was a brief and relaxing conversation, the second stage was about technical things and hiring manager asked several questions in the third stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me to write a prototype for a simple algorithm in any programming language
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks in Apr 2013
Interview
After Career Fair at college, got a mail from them asking to mail resume in case we didn't attend the fair. A few days after mailing resume, got a response asking for suitable time to interview.
This was fairly simple. They asked behavioral questions:
1. Did you ever face a problem in your team and how did you solve it?
2. How do you like working in a team?
More general questions :
3. When are graduating?
4. When would you join after you graduate?
Then they asked me to choose from 4 categories and I chose software programming. It included -
Basic math - discrete math, computation, and algorithm theory
Programming concepts – OOP, data structures, and operating systems.
Programming Languages – Syntax and design questions in C, C++, and Java. MATLAB is optional and may be used to replace one of the other languages.
They scheduled the technical round for the next week.
In this round, they asked :
What is Big O notation?
What are local and global variables?
What is scope of a variable?
What is the difference between Java Applet and Application?
typedef
final
what is a pointer?
what is class and object
what is a hashtable
Which is faster for searching - linked list or array
what is "define" ? They gave an example and asked how it works
(AUB) ∩ C = ?
What is a null pointer and when is it used?
what should you consider before assigning a pointer?
Is it alright to define all variables as global variables?
1) HR interview : discussion about candidate profile (studies, former experiences, hobbies and expectations) and presentation of the company. 2) Technical interview: questions about MATLAB and control design automation. Choose among 3 topic : Maths/Deployment/Control Automation 3) manager interview
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks in Nov 2021
