I applied online. I interviewed at MathWorks in Apr 2016
Interview
The interview was scheduled by the hiring manager. Started with the first round for a phone interview for 30 minutes. The interviewer was very friendly and was really with any technology stack. He was primarily testing on my problem solving skills. Never heard back from him after the interview. Tried mailing him more than 5 times but didn't get any reply.

Question 1
Javascript basics - Call back functions, closures, anonymous functions. Finding duplicate elements - Told him hashmap and he was interested in other possible solutions as well. How do you write functions to draw line, circle and shapes, like what data structures and how will you call these - I told him like using array and command patterns.
Technical coding assessment given on online platform. Plenty of time for assessment, easy and medium difficulty questions. A series of questions about my experience for which I recorded a video response

Question 1
Do you have any experience with object oriented programming languages
Multiple coding assessments online, with browser use monitored to prevent cheating. The online environment had no linting or suggestions, so you need to know the correct syntax and function names for your selected programming language
