MathWorks Applications Support Engineer interview questions

Hiring process consisted of a general phone interview, then a technical phone interview and finally an on-site College Day event involving a 2 hour technical interview, a 1 hour manager interview and a 1 hour HR interview.

I received an e-mail regarding initial interview after almost 2 months after applying online. This was an initial HR interview regarding the position and my qualifications. The HR asked me what I knew about the position and why I wanted to work for it. I gave her my reasoning, as to why I was interested. She somehow, robotically, repeated all the points written in the position description in response. Then she asked about my GPA and when I could start working. She asked me about my Masters thesis, for which I gave her a brief overview. She asked me which field of work I was more interested in, as in Embedded, DSP or Controls. Since, I had work in both embedded , DSP (actually I am more involved in Image processing). I told her the same. She didn't ask me any other questions. I asked her a few questions. She said, if I match their requirement, I will get an email. I checked after an hour or so on their website and it said profile does not match current requirement. If the decision was to be made that fast, I don't know why I wasn't told straight away on the phone.
