    3. Finding Prime number between a range of 1 to n: Sieve Method

    Data Structures: Linked list has a limit for questions to be asked. There are few standard
    problems you have to go through.
    If the interviewer gives you a chance to pick your favorite data structure, go with a Linked list.
    HR: HR wants to know if you are a team player: So tell/make up incidents when you led your
    team to success.
    Never tell HR, you wanna go for higher studies.

    Take your time in interviews and let them take the stage and always answer what they want to
    hear.
    Go through GeeksforGeeks archives before every test and interview, Companies tend to ask the
    same questions over and over at colleges, If you are lucky you will find the same question at the
    test :>

    This is Mathworks archive https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/tag/mathworks/ . When I went through


    it, I understood they wanted strong OOPs concepts, So I did go through a 2 hr video on OOPs,
    But they did not ask me, OOPs, but one of my friends had, and he was out.
    The second thing I felt after seeing the archive was that Mathworks was heavy going with HR
    rounds, and I did prepare for common HR questions, and not to my surprise, 3 out of 4 rounds I
    had was HR and Manager. And I already knew that the rounds were going to happen randomly.

    It might take a week or 2 to complete all the topics I mentioned above. But these are the only
    things being asked, I am not good at OS but can answer questions asked. That's all we need for
    the time. :>

    Mathworks Interview

    Amal Raj
    Computer science and Engineering
    Company: MathWorks
    Role: Associate in EDG
    CTC: 20L

    Total rounds: 4
    One group discussion followed by the HR, manager, and Technical, they call random as per the
    availability.

    Round 1: Group discussion


    There were 7 students in a Webex meet with one interviewer. We were asked to introduce
    ourselves, and were given the topic “is soft skills more important than technical skills to succeed
    in a company”. Almost everyone was speaking for the topic, and each of us had about 3 mins to
    finish our points. It was a quick round finished in around 20 mins.

    Round 2: HR
    A healthy discussion about the responsibilities I had taken up in school and college was
    discussed. Time management and how I schedule work were discussed. The round lasted for
    45 minutes and we had a good one on one conversation.

    Round 3: Technical
    2 coding questions

    1. A DFS problem of traversing a matrix from [0 0] to [m n]. I completely solved the problem
    2. A problem that needed stack to solve, I figured out a method, but could not implement
    the code. You just need to keep your calm when you miss an answer
    Then there were some questions from DBMS and os.

    Round 4:Manager round


    It was much like HR but was shorter for me. It went on for 30 mins.

    CTC was based on the Interview performance.
