It was a technical interview and contain 2 questions, mainly medium level. But it was fairly doable and takes time to comprehend. But interviewer can explain the prompt to you.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MathWorks (Cambridge, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
There were 3 stages:
- Technical interview (1 hour) where they tested mathematics and computing knowledge
- Behavioral interview (1 hour) whit questions on your CV
- HR interview (20 mins) concerning logistics matters

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Given a sequence of binary numbers (0, 1) of size ‘n’ in which every 0 represent a decrement to the sum and every 1 represents the increment to the sum. You have to find the minimum possible value of ‘k’ such that the sum of the first ‘k’ elements is greater than the sum of remaining elements.
The initial sum for both the half is 0.
Eg.
given sequence – 101011
The minimum possible value of k – 6
given sequence – 1001001
The minimum possible value of k – 0
