I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Cambridge, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
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!

I applied online. I interviewed at MathWorks in Oct 2020
Interview
Everybody involved in the process was very nice, encouraging, and answered all of my questions. They were extremely accommodating to my timeline of when I was available for interviews. The main focus of the interviews were on explaining technical concepts to a person who doesn’t have the same technical background as you.
