1. HR Interview: Pretty generic, run-of-the-mill questions. "Why Mathworks?", "Walk me through your resume", etc.

2. HackerRank Test: MCQ and coding. The programming questions are easy (slightly irritating input/output). The MCQ questions are taken from high school programming textbooks. You have to choose two out of five programming languages (a ridiculous requirement, in my opinion, as new programming languages can easily be learned to a working level in a month if need be).

3. Technical Phone Interview: Review of the HackerRank test and general programming questions related to two languages of your choice. The interviewer was clearly reading off a question bank they were provided or downloaded from somewhere. This became even more clear when they pointed to a part of my code for rectification, even when that syntax is clearly used in any modern system (purposely not going into specifics). Most, if not all, questions could be answered with a Google search and were generally very mundane questions found when you google "common interview questions" and click the first link.

I later looked up the profile of the phone interviewer online, and it looked like they were a bachelor's degree student on the cusp of graduating (maybe they hadn't updated their social media). Nonetheless, the seniority of the interviewer was quite alarming and further confirmed my hypothesis about the amount of effort put into procuring talent.

In the whole process, I dealt with two humans who were clearly too junior to be interviewing candidates. Probably that is fine, given the job profile is really the same as "glorified" tech support. Overall, they are clearly not looking for top candidates, given the salary levels, job type, location, and interview process.

Walk me through your resume.

A bunch of programming language questions, like: What does this keyword do? What about that keyword? What is the output of this function, etc.? Equivalent to high school CS questions, in my opinion.
