Last Updated : 14 Oct, 2024
Mathworks EDG visited our campus for a recruitment drive, providing an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their skills and secure positions in their esteemed organization.
Round 1: Online Test: 90 min
- Mathematical Reasoning
- C based MCQs
- C++/Java MCQs (attempt anyone)
- Python MCQs (bonus)
- 2 Coding questions:
Round 2: Group Discussion: 15 min
- Topic: Teamwork and individual work.
- 2 rounds:
- Everyone got to speak one by one for a minute to give their thoughts on the topic.
- In this round chances were given based on the sequence of hands raised, to give additional inputs about each other’s thoughts.
Candidates shortlisted for interviews had their next 3 rounds in random order:
Round 3: Managerial Round: 45-50 min: This round started with my introduction. After that, the interviewer suggested I give my answers using examples of experiences I had. Some of the questions were:
- My understanding of EDG.
- Areas of improvement (both personal and technical).
- The situation when you have a disagreement with the mentor/team member.
- Location preference
- How do you manage your time when many things are piled up?
- How do you handle pressure situations?
- Tell me a situation when you were on the edge of the deadline.
- What excites you the most about MathWorks?
Round 4: Technical Round: 60 min: The interviewer shared the link to the hackerrank IDE. Then he started pasting code snippets and asked me for the outputs with proper reasoning. Codes were related to basic C and C++ concepts and OOPs concepts. Some of the output questions were related to:
- Dynamic memory allocation in C/C++
- Malloc, Calloc
- Struct vs Union vs Enum
- Use of header file #include, how the compiler uses it while executing the code.
- What is the difference between
- #define count 10; and
- const int count = 10;
- Oops concepts: Polymorphism- compile-time and run-time
- Pointers and sizeof(pointers)
- References
- Abstract class and Virtual function
- Const keyword, static keyword, etc.
Some basic questions on data structures such as:
- What are a Binary Tree and a Binary Search Tree?
- Search element in a Binary Tree as well as Binary Search Tree.
- Write the code for both and explain the worst-case time complexities.
- Implement Queue using Stacks approach then code.
Practice the output questions related to c, c++, pointers, static keywords, etc. as they look very confusing when you don’t have enough practice.
Round 5: HR Round: 30-40 min: This round started with both of our introductions. Then the interviewer asked me general HR questions. Some of them are:
- Tell me about the situation when you had your own plans, but there are some urgent came up, so how did you handle that thing?
- What you will do when there is a conflict between two of your team members in a discussion, how will you respond to it?
- Tell me a situation when you got some work on the technology to which you are new.
- What is your location preference? Bangalore or Hyderabad and why?
- You have some unfinished tasks and the deadline is near, but you also have some weekend plans with family, what would you do in that case?
Verdict: Selected
