Process
The interview process included two phone interviews followed by an on-site set of interviews and an HR interview.
First phone interview: Chatting about my resume.
Second phone interview: Coding session focused on a Fraction class. Frankly, I dislike coding sessions. While I can code anything required, I dislike being monitored. However, this session was different. They allowed me to use Visual Studio, compile, run, fix bugs, and even search online. Consequently, it was surprisingly easy. I actually appreciate this type of coding where compilers are permitted, as I use them in my professional work.
On-site interview:
- Presentation on a selected project I am proud of.
- Interview on a "funny" computer problem. I will not disclose it as they seem to ask this question repeatedly to gauge thought processes; they are more interested in how you think than the final result.
- Usual Depth-First Search (DFS) questions.
- Design a lottery system.
- Compiler-related questions.
- Coding a hash map. This was a difficult question, and while I couldn't complete it fully, I implemented a hash map for
<string, any type>without collisions. - HR interview.
Questions
Computer problem that requires some thinking. See #2 above.

Specifically for MathWorks HYD, and this doesn't apply to other MathWorks offices
Engineer • Current Employee
Hyderābād, Telangana, India
August 12, 2020
Pros: @MathWorks EXEMPTING the HYD office: Lot of learning, excellent peers @ Natick, very friendly and approachable managers.
Cons: At the MathWorks HYD office, senior management is the worst. They neither respect nor recognize hard work and show a lot of favoritism. Unrealistic deadlines and no proper planning mean they indirectly force people to work long hours by loading them with more work in a short period. They also practice a lot of micromanagement. Many of the managers show a bad attitude and are not at all supportive or empathetic towards their team members. The managers lack professional ethics and any administration skills.
Well, the HYD office was a startup acquired by MathWorks. This is definitely one of the worst decisions the CEO has made. The senior management at the HYD office doesn't lead by example; they maintain the "do as I say" mentality. They advertise MathWorks core values but never follow them. It never reflects in their day-to-day activities.
Be it any company outings or providing snacks, milk, and beverages to the employees, they always buy the cheaper ones in the market and don't care about the quality of the items they buy or how it impacts an individual's health.
