Control Systems Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts
Process
I applied online and received an email from the development manager to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview went well; it was not very tough. For almost 15 minutes, he explained the responsibilities and expectations for the position, then asked about projects from my resume and some easy questions. After a week, I received an email from another development manager for a second phone interview. This one was a bit tougher, as they tried to ask me in detail about every project. Then, after a week and a half, I got a call from a technical recruiter. They asked a few non-technical questions and scheduled an onsite interview. The onsite interview comprised a presentation about one of my projects and an example problem they had asked me to solve in advance. The presentation was followed by six face-to-face interviews. The first five of these interviews were all technical, and the last one was non-technical.
Questions
The questions were mostly about the content of the presentation.

MathWorks Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing company if thinking of settling downSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesJune 7, 2020Pros: Freedom to work on projects you like.Cons: Could improve the payroll. Pace of development is slow. Feels backward in new technology usage.
- 5.0Financially sound, diverse, with strong core valuesIT Applications Development Manager • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesOctober 19, 2021Pros: - Inclusive Culture: Everyone is empowered to make a difference. - Diversity: Individuals are respected and rewarded based solely on their contributions and effectiveness in their role. - Core Values: "Do the right thing" dominates the culture, and they stand behind it all the way up the management chain. - Financial stability: Steady, single-digit percentage year-over-year growth through a diverse portfolio across various markets.Cons: Many of the management team members have been at MathWorks for a long time, and it is difficult for them to get an outside and different perspective.
- 4.0Good Tools, Low PaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesNovember 4, 2018Pros: Personal offices, good benefits, and heavy investment in infrastructure and developer tools.Cons: My biggest complaints are: * Annual salary boosts aren't that great. I meet new hires with less experience earning more than me. * The organizational maturity is really tough to measure here. It is most immediately evident in the products themselves: an automatic update model is finally being rolled out in 2018, and the company still seems to bend over backwards to release patches for specific $$ customers. Looking deeper, one notices that a proper issue tracking system (in this case, Jira) was only adopted in 2018, and the adoption feels...slipshod. My experience at my previous job with a much smaller and younger company felt significantly better organized. Of course, if you were to ask the project management teams, you would probably hear a completely different story.
