Perguntas de entrevista de vagas de Applications Support Engineer (EDG) da empresa MathWorks

The first round was a call where they asked standard interview questions about my CV and projects I had done in the past. This went well and I felt positive about our conversation. I then went through to the second round which was the technical interview. I was asked to choose two languages and a specialized topic to be tested on. I spent a lot of time preparing for this and was really let down by the process. I was interviewed by someone currently on EDG who I felt was ill prepared and wasn't even familiar with one of the languages I had chosen. They asked a lot of questions on syntax and brain-teaser type maths questions - no questions where I could actually demonstrate my ability to solve a problem with code. I wasn't asked about my chosen specialized topic at all. I was then told I would hear back from the interviewer very soon, which I took to imply it would be a couple of days. I was rejected a week later by a template email from the recruiting team who I had never spoken to.

I applied online in February 2019. The first round is a pre-recorded video where you're supposed to answer several pre-recorded questions like What's your GPA? What makes you a good fit for EDG role? Something about leadership and etc. Most of the first round questions are already here in glassdoor. The second round is a Hackerrank coding challenge wuth several sections in which we have to select 2 programming languages (Matlab, python,c/c++, javascript) I chose MATLAB and C++, there are around 20 Multiple choice questions in MATLAB section and around 10 MATH/Probability questions in MATH section and finally 3-4 programming questions in c++. Leetcode easy/medium. Third Round is Technical phone interview round for 2 hours with an EDG engineer. You have to prepare from Signal Processing/Embedded/OS and two programming languages and OOPS concepts. Initially, he asked me Signal Processing basics(Nyquist theorem, Aliasing, sampling frequency problems, z transforms, IIR and FIR filters differences, small questions to find convolution of two signals. After that, he shared some codes and asked me to debug them or spot the errors(questions were mostly focused on pointers, pass by ref pass by value) and then he asked me OOPS questions and asked me to solve questions based on classes/inheritance/destructors/constructors) Fourth Round : On-site interview 1st round(2 hours technical interview): Digital Image processing(my field) concepts, C++ coding questions, MATLAB debugging/spot the error. Learn MATLAB basics and data structures with a focus on Linked Lists, Arrays, Pointers, Dynamic Programming, Trees. 2nd Round(Manager round) - This was more of why I think I'm a good fit for EDG, what do I understand about the role and what expectations I have and some behavioral questions on teamwork, etc. Nothing majorly different, almost all questions were Most Commonly asked behavioral questions in any interview 3rd round(lunch): You'll basically just have lunch with two current EDG engineers and you get to ask them questions about the company or their lifestyle or current projects and this round was mostly just to see how you interact socially and how inquisitive you are as a person. Chill round Last round(HR interview): this is also a behavioral round asking most of the similar questions like in the Manager round. Most of them were situational questions(what would you do if you had a disagreement with your teammate, how do you handle stress? how do you prioritize your work) in the end the HR will explain the salary/benefits and other stuff. Got a phone call after two weeks and then the Manager called me to tell me I got the offer. Overall experience was great they are all really nice people. Great work atmosphere!!
