J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez MathWorks (Natick, MA)
Entretien
I received an email asking me about 10 detailed questions.
Next I was schedule for a 30m phone interview
Then an interview with my possible boss during a lunch (1 hour)
I was then asked to do an entire day of interviews that started with a 45m presentation about myself. My potential manager and I worked for hours on my presentation back and forth over the weekend. I ended up doing 4 revisions with case studies etc
The day of the presentation, the room was filled with VPs, directors, overseas dial-in peers, and about 5 other soon-to-be peer managers. I introduced myself as everyone walked and and the vibe was great. I gave the presentation and apparently I bombed it. Although they laughed and seemed to enjoy the presentation and my overall presentation abilities. I was then walked around the office areas and told what a great fit I would be for the company. During this time the folks in the room were talking about me as a candidate. After all these interviews they passed on my candidacy and promptly walked me out of the building.
The company has benefits and a culture that makes all the time spent worth the shot at joining them.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
A few caveats;
Company policy is to not give any details or feedback as to why you weren't selected
Any one person who views the candidate's presentation can veto the candidate
They didn't have any other candidates that made it to the 4th round so they choose no one over me. They really do select carefully. I respect the hell out of that to be honest. I was bummed I didn't make the cut because of one bad presentation but what can you do.
Friendly interviewer who was transparent about the process and expectations. Regardless of the final decision, it has been a pleasure to connect with the MathWorks management team and I hope to continue those relationships into the future.

It was a fairly standard process. It started with routine phone screens, tech screens and then continued on through (now virtual) interview process. It was a smart group of people who were friendly, but the process moved slowly.
Called back several times and asked to prepare a presentation only to be rejected with a form letter after waiting for several weeks. People were generally friendly but there were a lot of hoops to jump through. Avoid.
