I spoke with the QE team manager in a one-hour, one-on-one interview. Then, I spoke with an HR person about MathWorks for about 30 minutes.

Next, I participated in a technical interview with a future team member regarding the use of the MATLAB test infrastructure.

Finally, I gave a 30-40 minute presentation on a technical topic and met several team members as well as two managers. I estimate about 8 hours of total interviewing time.

1st interview: Why MathWorks, what are you looking for, what are you passionate about, what's your experience?

2nd interview: This is what the MathWorks culture is like (no real "questions").

3rd interview: A basic overview of the MATLAB test infrastructure, and then some simple questions on MATLAB syntax, error messages, and seeing how quickly I learn something new.

4th interview: Basic verbal questions on how I'd sort something, or how I'd search for something in a large data structure. Some Simulink questions, like how to make a differential equation (more to see how fast I learn, rather than actually already knowing how to use Simulink).

5th interview: Then I also had open-ended questions on how I'd improve a product I use a lot, what kind of work would need to be done to support it, etc.
