Interviewed May 2012 in Natick, MA (took 2 weeks)
Two telephonic interviews. First one with software developer. He asked basic questions based on my resume and my experience. While i was discussing my profile, he kept on asking in between the technical terms i used like design patterns, etc. Discussed about the software team and their work. Very easy not at all tough. Scheduled for second interview with very high experienced person (i actually saw his linkedin profile). Interview started with his work profile and development. Next he asked my introduction and then my C++ projects. He had my resume in front of him, so he read different projects and then asked about some of them like what did the project do and other stuff. Then he asked me to discuss one of my c++ project and how did i do it. I explained it and while explaining various data structures and template libraries i used, he asked questions based on the technology used in the project. Interview was good and not very tough, but I did not get any further call. The interview was sounded like non-american guy coz i felt he was having problem in speaking in english. He actually was fumbling and that confused me a lot. I had to say "sorry i didn't get you" everytime he asked or said something.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Natick, MA (took 4 weeks)
A while after applying for the position, I was contacted by the department head by phone. Had a nice conversation. I was contacted some time thereafter for a live interview with him and another department member. That went well. I was told that as part of the next step that I would have to do a 45 minute powerpoint presentation and have several interviews, including another interview both department members. Did the presentation and had one interview. Then I met with the department head and he told me that, after discussing it with the rest of the panel, that they were going to look elsewhere. The reason for this was that I had not mentioned the job when I discussed why I wanted to work for Mathworks in my presentation. They cancelled the rest of the interviews that were scheduled that day. I mentioned that I had discussed at length why I wanted the position in my prior interviews.
Mathworks seems like a good company- they're expanding. And the people seemed nice. It's just tht their interview process is totally asinine and unnecessary. Unless you're applyingfor a sales or marketing position, having someone do a presentation makes no sense. And they stretch the proecess otu for weeks. It's almost if the last person standing gets the job.
Bottom line- if you can tolerate the BS of the job interview process, this is probably not a bad place to work. If I had it to do over again, I would have told them to stick it.

3 rounds of phone interviews- HR, Technical and again HR. Got through the first two. Rejected after the final HR.

Phone interview was unexpected. We talked about my experience related to position. The main question was about my previous salary. I gave them the range of salaries which I would like to have. They never called me back :(

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Natick, MA (took a day)
First, I was called by the Technical Support and she asked me about my educational background and project experience. Then she asked me a suitable date and time for my technical interview. Then she offered me three options for the interview. I chose signal processing. On the interview day, I was asked questions on basic math, algebra, calculus, matrices, signal processing, C programming and MATLAB. Overall, the interview was good but since I was pre-occupied with my school stuff, I wasn't able to prepare well for the interview.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Natick, MA (took a day)
Got an email to schedule a phone interview the day after I applied the position on their website. The interview only included some basic behavior questions such as "GPA" "Why Mathworks", "Is it the first time you applied for Mathworks", "how to manage if you have multiple task deadline on the same day" , "When can you go to work". After the interview, My status changed to "Match not ideal at this time". Don't know why.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I received an email asking for scheduling a time for phone interview one week after I applied on their website. The phone interview only included behavioral questions and some other very basic question like "could you describe your research topic" or "why are you interested in this job." Also, the HR asked if I was ever applied other jobs in Mathworks before. After finishing the phone interview, my status on their website changed into "not ideal for this position". No idea where I did wrong.
