MathWorks EDG Interview Experience

Online Test Pattern: Multiple choice questions based on CS concepts, output questions etc. 2 medium level DSA coding questions.

Interview Rounds:

Round 1(Technical): This was a long interview round.  

• Tell me about yourself?
• How did you work in your summer internship? What were the responsibilities you were given? What were the problems you faced? What steps did you take when you were done with your code? How did you approach your manager and senior teammates? Were you able to complete all your tasks on time? What was your manager’s feedback for you?
• Choose any 2 languages and rate yourself in proficiency.
• What are the most important steps that happen when you declare an array or linked list? Which one can be better in what situation? Time complexity of insertion and deletion in both array and linked list.
• Coding question 1 – Given a linked list, return the integer on nth position from the end.
• Coding question 2 – Given a binary tree, return the element with highest frequency.
• Output question 1 – JAVA related question, multiple constructors and their outputs.
• What is the difference between encapsulation and abstraction? Can encapsulation be implemented using abstraction or vice versa ?
• Output question 2 – C pointer related.
• Dynamic memory allocation in C. Calloc, malloc etc.
• Difference between hashmap and set? Give an example of a situation where you would prefer map over set?
• Given a single threaded process with null values, what would you use in such a situation, a hashmap or hashset ?
• A simple puzzle question.

Round 2(Managerial):

• Why mathworks?
• Preferred location?
• How do you manage your time along with extra curricular activities?
• What do you know about the EDG program?
• Project you are most proud of and why ?
• What were the problems you faced? Did your mentor say any negative things about you? How would you deal with it if they did?
• What have you heard about mathwork’s environment and work culture?

Round 3(Behavioural):

• What do you know about EDG ?
• If you are given to work on a project, or skill you don’t like, what would you do?
• How do you think EDG deals with clients?
