I applied online. I interviewed at MathWorks (Natick, MA) in Nov 2019
Interview
First OA, simple algorithm questions, then a phone interview, after that is a phone call from manager and onsite interview. Asked about simple data structures and a software design question, overall not very hard and all interviewer were very friendly
It was a technical interview and contain 2 questions, mainly medium level. But it was fairly doable and takes time to comprehend. But interviewer can explain the prompt to you.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Cambridge, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
There were 3 stages:
- Technical interview (1 hour) where they tested mathematics and computing knowledge
- Behavioral interview (1 hour) whit questions on your CV
- HR interview (20 mins) concerning logistics matters
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Compute function for Fourier series using different methods and compare computation time for different solutions
coding interview 2 coding Questions + 15 MCQ's
Coding only in C,C++,Java
Test conducted on Hacker rank. Dynamic programming and basic DSA / Algo were tested. C++ requires knowledge of STL
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Given a sequence of binary numbers (0, 1) of size ‘n’ in which every 0 represent a decrement to the sum and every 1 represents the increment to the sum. You have to find the minimum possible value of ‘k’ such that the sum of the first ‘k’ elements is greater than the sum of remaining elements.
The initial sum for both the half is 0.
Eg.
given sequence – 101011
The minimum possible value of k – 6
given sequence – 1001001
The minimum possible value of k – 0
