Process
I applied online and was given a technical phone interview. I felt that the interview wasn't too difficult. They sent an email detailing what the interview would consist of: data structures, automata, discrete mathematics, etc. Therefore, there wasn't anything unexpected, as everything was on that list.
In an interesting turn of events, the interviewer said he would call in two weeks to say whether I moved on to the next stage of interviews, but I never received a call. I emailed my interviewer multiple times and never got a response.
Questions
I was asked if a specific equation was a tautology.
In another question, I was asked about a finite state machine.

MathWorks Work Experiences
- 2.0Nice product, crazy processSoftware Engineering • Former EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesApril 3, 2013Pros: 1. The company makes a well-known, widely used product. 2. The offices in Natick are really nice, with a nice cafeteria and gym on-site. 3. Good benefits, such as a 6/6 401k match.Cons: 1. Ridiculous management: The process is so loaded down and wastes obscene numbers of engineer-hours in forms. There are two entirely separate tracking systems that have to be filed for every new feature. 2. Silly performance review process that uses bad tools. It takes forever to fill out the badly designed self-review form, and no one looks at it anyway. 3. Salaries 20-30 percent lower than industry average.
- 4.0Supportive People, Great EnvironmentSoftware Engineering • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaAugust 5, 2020Pros: Supportive people. Good working environment.Cons: Nothing specific as of now.
- 4.0Overall, a great place to work so farSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesFebruary 7, 2021Pros: The project work is often very engaging. Many colleagues are very smart and carry their weight in projects. It's awesome to see thousands of customers using the products.Cons: There are plenty of unofficial leadership opportunities, but since MathWorks has such a flat hierarchy, there are limited opportunities for promotion to leadership positions if you start as an individual contributor.
