I interviewed at Mathworks in Cambridge, UK. Standard interview. I had a first interview with a member of the team and a second interview with another member. However, the job description was very misleading. In my case in the job description was stated that they were looking for a technical writer and once in the interview, I found out that they were looking for a software developer that maybe can do some technical writing. If I knew this in advance, I would have not applied for the job. The interviewers, lacked interview skills and not willing to describe to me in more details of what the job consisted of. Avoid!
