I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MathWorks (Gāndhīnagar, Gujarat) in May 2019
Interview
It was a bunch of pretty basic questions, basic stuff about C++. A bit of Data Structures and Basic algorithms. The interview process went from very basic questions to advanced coding problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between global and local variable in c++.
It was a technical interview and contain 2 questions, mainly medium level. But it was fairly doable and takes time to comprehend. But interviewer can explain the prompt to you.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Cambridge, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
There were 3 stages:
- Technical interview (1 hour) where they tested mathematics and computing knowledge
- Behavioral interview (1 hour) whit questions on your CV
- HR interview (20 mins) concerning logistics matters

Question 1
Compute function for Fourier series using different methods and compare computation time for different solutions
coding interview 2 coding Questions + 15 MCQ's
Coding only in C,C++,Java
Test conducted on Hacker rank. Dynamic programming and basic DSA / Algo were tested. C++ requires knowledge of STL

Question 1
1. Given a sequence of binary numbers (0, 1) of size ‘n’ in which every 0 represent a decrement to the sum and every 1 represents the increment to the sum. You have to find the minimum possible value of ‘k’ such that the sum of the first ‘k’ elements is greater than the sum of remaining elements.
The initial sum for both the half is 0.
Eg.
given sequence – 101011
The minimum possible value of k – 6
given sequence – 1001001
The minimum possible value of k – 0
