Initially, I received an email confirming my application was received. The subsequent steps in the application process were outlined as:

• The Hirevue Interview
• The Mathworks Hackerrank Coding Challenge/Online Assessment
• Providing my most recent university transcript

I completed these steps in that order, though I likely submitted the transcript before the other two.

After answering the typical qualitative job questions for the Hirevue recording (e.g., "Why are you interested in working here?", "Tell us about yourself", "What are some notable achievements/projects you've had?", "What skills do you possess for this job?"), I proceeded to the Online Assessment.

The assessment was lengthy (155 minutes) and comprised several sections. The first third included preliminary math and statistics questions. The second third featured three C/C++/Java, or Python programming problems. The final section, toward the second half, contained MATLAB-related questions.

I was not well-prepared for the MATLAB or programming questions, but I tried my best. Each section of the exam remained unopened until I chose to start it, allowing me breaks between sections.

Even with some preparation, do not expect to be further processed as an applicant unless you performed exceptionally well up to this point. I did not, but it was a valuable learning experience.

Math, programming, then MATLAB questions.
