Behavioral Technical Other
It was one long panel interview online. It was 4 hours long, broken into 4 parts: a behavioral interview, a technical screening, then an interview with the hiring manager, and finally a cultural interview. The process was pretty tough, I really don't like when interviews are scheduled for so long. There was a lot of talking and way too much stuff to get through.

Technical Behavioral
It was a telephonic interview process. There was a manager round which lasted for an hour, followed by a take-home assignment that had to be completed in 2 days. Then there was a technical round for an hour, and finally an HR interview for 30 mins. Overall it was an easy process and all the rounds were conducted over the phone. This role is different from a regular EDG role. The interview process for EDG is a bit different, involving Hackerank, followed by tech and behavioral interviews, with a focus on company values.

Coding Technical Behavioral
Started with a phone call from HR to chat about my experience, current situation, and the job details. Then, I was asked to submit some C++ and MATLAB code samples. Soon after, I got a technical phone interview scheduled with a desi interviewer. Before the call, he sent a MATLAB coding assignment which I nailed the same day since I've been coding in MATLAB forever. On the interview day, as expected with a desi interviewer, he spoke super fast, making it hard to catch everything. He hit me with a bunch of prepared, textbook questions. I nailed most of them, maybe missed one or two, and sadly, that apparently made me a bad candidate! He said even though I knew a lot about MATLAB and OOPS, missing those couple of questions meant I wasn't good enough at MATLAB. Seems like Mathworks hires a lot of these desi folks. They're clearly after people just like them, which I'm not. I'm looking for a creative and innovative place, and I doubt this is it. This was my second time interviewing with Mathworks, and it was the same old story: a desi interviewer, bookish questions, miss a couple and you're out. Thanks, but I won't be applying here again!
