Process

First, I completed the online non-tech questions and received an invitation for the online programming test.

The online test focused on programming skills. I picked two areas from C, MATLAB, Python, and Java.

After one week, I had a phone interview covering basic questions focused on C, MATLAB, control theory, and linear algebra.

Questions

What is malloc and kmalloc?

The meaning of some C programs.

A simple MATLAB programming and visualize the result.

What is asymptotically stable?

Some PID control questions.

Controllability and observability.

MathWorks Work Experiences

Not your regular Product Job Role

EDG Engineer • Former Employee

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Pros: -- Gained customer perspective on product. -- Received product trainings and the choice of choosing areas to work on. -- Interesting math-related work, though this would change from team to team. -- Good culture, with many smart colleagues.

Cons: Managing communication between a lot of managers in EDG can be challenging. Spending half the time in support will be frustrating, as it's not related to your engineering qualification. There are very little increments or growth. Also, there is often a lot of uncertainty before eventually finding fitting work. I wouldn't recommend it if you are from a software background and uninterested in other engineering domains. There are high expectations on the technical support component.
