Process
I had two phone screens and a scheduled personal interview (with presentation) which I decided to decline.
It turns out that refusing the interview (politely) led to me being blackballed by the HR guy at MathWorks, as confirmed by two recruiters.
It's one of those things that's probably illegal in the HR/corporate world, but hard to prove.
Questions
The HR representative insisted on delivering a 45-minute presentation, which I found uninteresting, as I had already completed numerous technical tests and screens by that point.
