MathWorks has some very interesting areas that they work on. The work environment outside of EDG is great. Work-life balance is respected. EDG could be a good way for non-CS majors to get a foot in the door in the tech industry.
In EDG, your career is put on pause while you essentially continue to search for jobs at the company.
Technical support is a BIG part of EDG (often more than half the work!). Interviewers are generally not upfront about it.
You spend two weeks on a project, then two weeks focused on technical support. This slows down progress and feels extremely inefficient.
While MathWorks does not officially do mass layoffs, if they want to reduce headcount, EDG feels the squeeze.
OA: Two programming questions which were approximately Leetcode medium. Greedy-focused. Perfection not expected to get a callback. Manager Interview: Focused on asking what you are looking for in the EDG Program (mostly a vibe check). Final Round I
Relatively quick! You could get the whole process done in 2-3 weeks. * Technical online assessment (one section Math, next section either Python/MATLAB) * Managerial interview (behavioral) * Call with recruiter to schedule next interview * F
The interview process consisted of three rounds: * Online Assessment * Virtual Onsite * Hiring Manager Interview The entire process took one month, and communication was fast and smooth. I did not have a referral.
