Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me what motivates you / tell me the worst colleague you have ever met / explain methods you employed for your research projects
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Mar 2019
Interview
3 phone interviews, about 5 Skype and live interviews at the their office in Kista (Stockholm, Sweden). The process was very long and after that there were supposed to be at least 2 more interviews. All interviewers were saying exactly the same things as they were saying during 3 phone interviews. It did not look like they were in need of good specialists because right after obtaining PhD I was told that I was not qualified. Their preference was Indian master students due to their cheapness, low qualifications.
