I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Medford, MA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied on their website after talking to them at my university's career fair. After a few days, they requested a phone interview with the recruiter, which was promptly scheduled. On the phone, I had a simple, candid conversation with her, nothing too technical. However, I heard back the following Monday and they said they were going to pursue other candidates. Maybe the next part of their interview process was going to be tougher, based on other interview reviews of this company.
