Process
Applied online.
Scheduled the first phone interview within a couple of weeks with the recruiter. It included basic behavioral questions, such as "What was a challenge you overcame?" and "What were the steps you took to overcome it?"
Scheduled a technical interview after that. The recruiter offered to give me a few extra weeks to prepare, which I took. The technical interview was over the phone as well, consisting of 100% knowledge-based questions; there was no coding or problem-solving. It lasted about 45 minutes.
Questions
Nothing really. Just know the ins and outs of whatever language they interview you in very well.

MathWorks Work Experiences
- 4.0Awesome company to work for. Good technologies and not too stressfulSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 19, 2021Pros: Not stressful, good pay, and great culture.Cons: Some tools are slow to your.
- 4.0Good pay, interesting job, stale management.Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMunich, Bavaria, GermanyDecember 14, 2023Pros: MathWorks is a loyal, consistent employer.Cons: The office policy is out of this world. Forcing salespeople in the software industry into an office at the end of town, and then on specific days (3 out of 5 in the week), is old-fashioned and counterproductive.
- 2.0You will be hired because you are extremely strong in your skills. Management will make you feel less than adequateSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 5, 2011Pros: Great benefits, 401K matching, quarterly bonus, interesting technical work, and intelligent technical co-workers.Cons: Extreme micromanaging, lots of processes to follow. You have to work 'around' the meetings and the documentation. This means a very long day just to get your actual work done. No time for breaks or lunch; many people eat at their desks. Always need to do better. I have witnessed people work so hard only to be told, "That is your job. Now do better than that." They want only superstars, but even if you are a superstar, you are not recognized for it. I think they strive on making you feel less than adequate so they can control you better. No flexibility to work from home. Policy is 0-3 times a year with management approval only.
