Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts

Process

I applied and submitted my resume online and was contacted by HR two weeks later.

Had a phone call with HR and answered basic behavioral questions, which are abundantly provided on Glassdoor.

Then, the next step was a technical phone call. For this round, I was provided a list of things to study.

After this round was an on-site, which consisted of three interviews:

  • A manager (behavioral)
  • HR (also behavioral)
  • An engineer (technical)

In less than a week, I was told that I had passed the interviews and that they would proceed with background and reference checks. I was asked for five references.

It took them two weeks to get back to me with an offer.

Questions

1st Phone Call: Same exact questions, abundantly available on Glassdoor.

2nd Phone Call: Technical questions depending on the areas you chose. Questions also available on Glassdoor.

Technical Onsite Interview: Questions similar to those in the 2nd phone call but more detailed. You will be asked to find errors on code (I was given a multithreading code that had no lock on a critical section), predict output from provided code (nested try-catch and finally), code on a whiteboard (any recursive sorting algorithm, remove '*' and characters surrounding it), and textbook programming questions.

Tips on interviewing with the manager and HR: Review MathWorks core values and come up with examples when you demonstrated these values.
