Great culture, exciting and challenging projects

Pros

Work culture, people and environment is very understanding and respectful. The company has good core values and treats its employees well. Work-life balance is great. Depending on what you work on, you could be at the bleeding edge of the most exciting technologies in the market. It's a very grass-roots organization where ideas are primarily formed and nurtured bottom-up rather than being pushed top-down. This gives a lot of power to technical engineers and staff.

Cons

Not the best paymasters in the area but quarterly cash bonuses make up for it handily. Being a privately-held company, I've always wondered how it affects decisions made in the company. For the most part I think it has helped in maintaining focus on the right places to invest in. But at hard times, resources can get tight.

EDG - Application Support Engineer

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

* EDG is a highly selective group that targets the strongest and most qualified engineers and computer scientists from top universities. * EDG engineers have the opportunity to work on exciting projects throughout the technical teams at MathWorks. The projects are self selected. * EDG engineers are mentored and have extensive training opportunities to further hone their technical and soft skills. * EDG provides each engineer with opportunities to explore teams at MathWorks. * EDG engineers have an established network of peers and colleagues throughout MathWorks. * Each engineer's experience in EDG is unique and customized to each individual. * New team members spend about 12-18 months on average working in EDG (Engineering Development Group). This time is spent contributing to projects, working with multiple teams, building a network of colleagues, and further honing technical and leadership skills. * Career Opportunities are plentiful with many EDG engineers transfer into a wide range of technical roles through the company. * Compensation is reviewed at least annually as well as when an EDG engineer transfers into another group, to ensure equity. Bonuses are based on performance and have been paid out quarterly consistently. * Managers are very flexible with regards to your personal schedule and requests for time off.

Cons

* The Application Support Engineer role in EDG is very challenging and requires a strong combination of technical skills, leadership skills, time management, and customer facing skills. * Some consider working with the customers and providing application support on complex technical problems a con. Managers at MathWorks consider it a strategic advantage that enables MathWorks' engineers to understand the customer perspective for the products they are developing. * The EDG experience is what each engineer makes of it. This model works for engineers who have a strong technical background, are independent, and demonstrate strong time management and initiative in their work. For engineers who want their work assigned and detailed instructions, it may not be the right fit.
