Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview had two rounds: a technical one and a behavioral one. The technical round focused on discussing projects from my resume, reviewing an OA question, and solving a LeetCode dynamic programming problem. In the behavioral round, the manager talked about the role and the company, then asked some general questions like how I handle tight deadlines and why I'm interested in MathWorks.

Coding Behavioral
After applying online, I first got an online assessment (OA) where I could choose to answer LeetCode-style problems or MATLAB-specific questions. A few weeks later, I scheduled an interview. The first interview was technical, focusing on problems similar to the OA. I explained my thinking as I solved them, and the interviewer offered some help when I got stuck. My solution didn't pass all tests because it wasn't fast enough, so we discussed potential optimizations. The next interview was with the hiring manager, where we reviewed my resume and delved into my past experiences and future interests. I'm not sure if there was a background check, but I did get an offer after the manager interview.

Coding Technical Behavioral
For the EDG Internship at MathWorks, the interview process includes a few steps to check technical and soft skills. You start by applying, then do a coding challenge and a video interview where you solve problems and record answers. After that, there's a technical call with an engineer about problem-solving and making code better. Then, you'll have a chat with a hiring manager about the job and how you'd fit the team. Finally, an HR interview covers logistics, company culture, and behavioral stuff to see if you match MathWorks' values. It's all about showing your technical skills, how you solve problems, and your interest in the role.
