I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks in Feb 2015
Interview
After the behavioral round, there was a phone interview set up for 1 hour which covers 3 main programming languages along with math questions and programming concept questions. The questions aren't too hard if you're prepared properly. If not, it could be a disaster. Revise simple OS concepts and programming concepts because it's mostly theoretical. You don't have to write code or an algorithm and just state your answers orally mostly.
