Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts
Process
Applied through the Career Fair on campus.
Received a follow-up email requesting a phone interview.
The first interview was informal, asking why I was applying for this position and some other basic HR questions.
Next, there was a technical phone interview that lasted for about an hour. Questions were from the topics of Math, C++, MATLAB, and Control Theory; they were very technical and specific.
The final round was on-site at Natick, MA. They had one technical, one HR, and one managerial interview scheduled on College Day.
Received a reply within the next week that I was selected.
Questions
The technical interview has very specific questions.
The questions I found difficult were on the topics:
- C++: Pointers and Inheritance
- MATLAB: Cell Arrays, Sub-functions, and .MEX files
- Control Theory: Digital Control

There's a big focus on process for many parts of the company, but not in terms of recourse for managers abusing their power. They are very against remote work and resisted it through COVID.
