Process
I applied online, and the process took three weeks.
I first had an interview with a recruiter, where I was asked behavioral questions. Next, I had a HackerRank coding challenge, followed by a technical interview.
For the coding challenge, I had to complete two out of four problems. The technical interview involved discussing my solutions to the HackerRank challenge and a design problem.
Questions

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Anyone seeking a job here can also get a better (more relevant, better paying, and better prospects) job elsewhere.
Cons: They hire people from IITs and give them substandard pay, making them do tech support jobs. They hire with false promises and false hope. Once you enter the company in a tech support role, you're screwed!
There are a lot of low-level politics that happen in the company. Growth is near zero.

Good Place to Work
Software Engineer • Former Employee
January 16, 2022
Pros: MathWorks has a lot of interesting products with a massive amount of engineering requirements. There is always more work than the employee number.
Engineering employees are highly qualified, with almost everyone having a Master's degree or above.
There is a lot of internal decision-making and prioritization involved before taking action. Work-life balance is also highly valued.
Cons: Almost every product has a massive engineering requirement, but engineering innovation and improvement is not valued so much.
Teams are now getting focused on improving developer experience, but it still lacks as compared to standard software engineering firms.
Overemphasis on meetings causes a lot of employee fatigue. Employees are expected to work according to a spec.
