I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks in Jan 2015
Interview
Four rounds of interviews, all by phone. The first was with a recruiter, who mostly had very basic nontechnical questions. The second was a technical interview, which involved writing and explaining code in your language of choice -- most of these questions were fairly basic. The third interview was with the manager of the program, who asked more detailed questions about past projects, how I deal with working in teams, how I deal with unexpected difficulties. The final interview was with another recruiter, whose questions were very similar to the third interview.
OA, then 2 rounds of interviews. First round asked me a few behavioral and walk me through your solution to one of the OA problems. I got cut after the first round. Interviewer seemed disinterested.
The interview process was very pleasant and welcoming. The team was professional, approachable and made the experience feel comfortable rather than stressful. There were no unexpected or overly difficult questions, just a smooth and engaging conversation
On hire-value, a web that records your answers. Not difficult. You have three practice questions, and each can go for twice and not be recorded, just to check your usage.
