From this post, I’m continuing my series where I share my interview preparation journey and real interview experiences.
This was my interview experience for a role at MathWorks.
The process consisted of an initial Online Assessment (OA), followed by three rounds: a Technical Interview, a Managerial Round, and an HR Round.
Online Assessment (OA)
The OA included a decent mix of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions along with a strong focus on computer science fundamentals. It wasn’t just about solving problems but also about having clarity in core concepts.
The technical round started with a brief introduction, followed by a discussion about my projects and summer internship experience.
The conversation then moved into a deep dive on C++ concepts, especially pointers. The interviewer focused on understanding my clarity of concepts rather than just surface-level knowledge.
After that, I was given a problem related to the view of a binary tree, along with a discussion on how to optimize the approach. This tested both problem-solving skills and my ability to think about efficiency.
The round also included a few questions on computer science fundamentals, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation.
Overall Experience:
The interview process at MathWorks felt very structured and concept-driven. There was a strong emphasis on:
Core fundamentals (especially C++ and pointers)
Problem-solving with optimization
Clear understanding of concepts rather than memorization
It was a great experience that reinforced the importance of having strong fundamentals along with practical problem-solving skills.
