I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Boston, MA) in Oct 2017
Interview
1st round is recording the video yourself to talk about some current situations, like OPT, graduation date, etc.
2st round is phone interview. The whole process took an hour. It includes C++, Python, Linear Algebra and Object-Oriented Design. They are all very easy, but wide -ranged. I was not so familiar with Python, so I didn't do that part well.
Technical coding assessment given on online platform. Plenty of time for assessment, easy and medium difficulty questions. A series of questions about my experience for which I recorded a video response

Multiple coding assessments online, with browser use monitored to prevent cheating. The online environment had no linting or suggestions, so you need to know the correct syntax and function names for your selected programming language
