I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Arlington, TX) in Sep 2015
Interview
Applied online. Brief phone interview with HR covering the position and some basic behavioral questions (describe a project in non-technical terms, describe how you stay organized, what are you looking for in an employer). Scheduled follow-up technical interview.
Tech interview conducted via WebEx and phone. No coding required. Topics included general OO concepts, two programming languages and discrete math/probability. Lasted about 45 minutes with time to ask questions. The programming language questions seemed to be very much of the trick question variety.

There were three phases for recruiting procedures. The first stage was a brief and relaxing conversation, the second stage was about technical things and hiring manager asked several questions in the third stage.
