Software Developer Interview Experience - Cambridge, United Kingdom
February 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Initial phone screen, asking about background, etc. from HR.
Then, another phone call with the manager of the particular position.
Required to give a 50-minute presentation, which was quite onerous in terms of preparation and much more than other similar companies ask for. Other than that, it was a very standard interview process: pair programming, questions about inheritance, etc.
The internal recruiter was nice and professional and made me feel at ease.
Declined because I couldn't see myself enjoying the particular position and the high cost of living in Cambridge. The salary was very good, but when taking into account the rental prices in the city, it just didn't make it worth it relative to other offers that were more interesting to me.

I joined MathWorks straight from college upon graduation with a Masters, and it was my best decision. This company groomed and prepared me for work life in the initial 2 years of my job as an ASE in EDG. This program allows you to try out different roles and responsibilities like technical assistance to customers, taking up QE projects, software development projects, technical marketing projects, EDG team leadership, EDG process improvement, interviewing new candidates, knowledge sharing presentations, and mentoring new hires. These are the things I got to do over my 2-year span in EDG, which has helped me immensely in my current role as a Software Developer.
You feel valued and appreciated in this company for your contributions. The company founder and owner, Jack, personally calls to congratulate you on your 5th-year anniversary at the company! :)
Cons: Very process-oriented company; it might fluster one who is not used to the detailed analysis, documentation, and reviews before implementation. Would be much appreciated by research-oriented individuals.
Only 3 days work from home and more on request. Works for me as the company has worked hard to provide us the best environments to work in, with personal office spaces, great food, and other services.
Salary might be a tad bit low compared to some other contemporaries.
