I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MathWorks (Cambridge, England) in Jan 2013
Interview
I have applied through the website, and had a phone interview, they asked general fit and technical questions mainly on programming. I guess they just wanted to know why I am interested in the job and my general experience with software development and etc.
My interview was positive in term of answering the questions. I wasn't given a feedback but said on the website match not ideal.
