Process

Applied through MathWorks website. Received mail asking for a convenient date and time for a brief phone interview.

Round 1: Brief HR interview over the phone. Questions regarding when I can join them, GPA, and resume. I was also asked about any incident where I had conflicts with my teammate and how it was resolved. An example of multitasking and how I managed to get all the work done.

Received a mail a few minutes after the interview scheduling a technical phone interview.

Round 2: Technical phone interview. Same questions as posted before on Glassdoor for this position. Few unexpected questions were about the mathematical definition of limits (delta-epsilon definition of limit), how to add a folder into MATLAB path, and how to do it automatically every time MATLAB is initialized or opened (addpath command in startup.m).

Received a mail from a technical recruiter 2 days later to schedule a non-technical followup chat.

Questions

Delta-Epsilon definition of limit.
