Process
The technical team lead contacted me two weeks after I applied online. In his email, he stated that they (he and another team member) would interview me on C/C++, MATLAB, and VHDL.
During the interview, I was asked very few simple C++ questions and then about how I would implement the same in MATLAB, specifically mentioning the in-built MATLAB commands I would use. I was also asked about OOP and scripting in MATLAB.
I performed very well on the C++ portion and struggled with the MATLAB questions. I had hoped they would interview me on VHDL, which I am really good at, but I wasn't asked a single question on that topic.
Questions
Scripting in MATLAB (I had no idea about this).
I wasn't expecting the high-level questions in MATLAB for a new grad position.

MathWorks Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Starting ProgramSoftware Engineer(Internship) • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesJune 18, 2021Pros: I think EDG is a strong way to enter a software engineering career. An internship at Mathworks is, at least right now, solely a software project-based internship. There is strong communication between interns and good support from your team as a new member. They have clearly put a lot of thought into the process for being an intern. Mathworks has a lot of benefits and is trying to promote interns to get to know each other during work time, for remote interns.Cons: No guarantee on the team you get placed on or the work performed as an intern. You could code new features or just make code tests.
