Phone screen: Behavioral interview - was asked to explain my PhD topic in layman terms. Phone technical interview: Regular questions from the MathWorks list (memorize, memorize, memorize; you can't wing an interview that requires greater memory powers than intellect). Onsite-interview: I was accidentally assigned the same person as the phone interview. They swapped themselves for another interviewer. The new person was a smug youngster who unnecessarily made it a part-behavioral interview (the dude literally said "well you got ahead of me there for an innocuous additional statement I made about a problem he posed."). The questions are super-easy if you memorize the right things. Be prepared for some architecture/C++ nuances and you'll be good to go. (that is, if you really want to work in MathWorks).
