I was sent a HackerRank coding challenge and a HireVue.
The coding challenge offered a choice between C++ or approximately 35 multiple-choice questions on MATLAB. There were also 5 or 6 multiple-choice probability questions.

The Matlab questions covered visualization, loading files, selecting rows/columns in a matrix, and solving Ax=b systems of equations.
