What it does: We created MATLAB and Simulink to help customer do their best work.
Mission: Our mission is to change the world by accelerating the pace of discovery, innovation, development, and learning in engineering and science. Our guiding principle is “do the right thing”, which means doing what is best for our staff members, customers, business partners, and communities for the long term, and believing that “right” answers exist.
Size and presence: Around 4500+ globally, headquartered in Natick, MA.
Best known for: MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing software. Engineers and scientists worldwide rely on its products to accelerate the pace of discovery, innovation, and development.
The good bits: MathWorks has a hybrid work model that enables staff members to split their time between the office and home. The hybrid model provides the advantage of having both in-person times with colleagues and flexible at-home life optimizations.
The not-so-good bits: Work can be a bit hectic during release deadlines.
MathWorks was founded in 1984 by Jack Little and Cleve Moler, who recognized the need among engineers and scientists for more powerful and productive computation environments beyond those provided by languages such as Fortran and C. In response to that need, they combined their mathematics, engineering, and computer science expertise to develop MATLAB, a high-performance technical computing environment. MATLAB combines comprehensive math and graphics functions with a powerful high-level language.
In addition to MATLAB, MathWorks now develops and markets Simulink, a product for simulating nonlinear dynamic systems. The company also develops and markets an extensive set of add-on products for specialized application areas including control design, signal processing, and communications, image processing, test and measurement, computational biology, and financial modeling and analysis.
Every MathWorker brings a unique background and perspective, but we share a set of core values.
These values help create a vibrant and rational workplace that nurtures our growth as individuals and as an organization.
You'll work on interesting and challenging projects that make a real difference for our business and our users. And you'll be part of a company that values your ideas and gives you lots of pathways to learning, thrive, and follow your passion. You may explore our full-time opportunities for new graduates as well as internships in both technical and non-technical roles.
The first step is a phone or virtual interview with the recruiter or the hiring manager.
If there is a strong match, you will be invited for a full interview round. Whether conducted virtually or in person, the interview day typically starts with a short “all hands” meeting where you are invited to present your background and experience to the team and discuss a project of your choosing. The goal is to familiarize the interview team with your qualifications (to avoid redundant “resume questions” during individual interviews afterward). Some interviews may be spread over multiple days for convenience.
Your MathWorks recruiter will be your guide in explaining and preparing for the interview process.
Most interview rounds include four or five interviewers and take a good part of the day. Onsite interviews typically include a break for lunch. Virtual interview schedules will have built-in time for breaks as appropriate and may be spread over multiple days for convenience.
How can I prepare?
Successful candidates don't stop at understanding the position for which they're interviewing. Nothing generates more excitement with hiring teams than an enthusiastic candidate who can answer the question “Why MathWorks?” by demonstrating preparation and interest in MathWorks as a whole.
Be ready to discuss your role in a project, any challenges you faced and overcame, and how you did it. Your work may have been part of a team effort, but it’s important to focus on your contribution (using “I” rather than “we”).
The average MathWorks salary ranges from approximately INR 13 Lakhs per year for a Quality Engineer to INR 30 Lakhs per year for a Senior Team Leader. Salary estimates are based on 364 MathWorks salaries received from various employees of MathWorks.
