MathWorks reviews

This isn't a con so much as an observation. I spend my time with software folks. I don't know how people in non-engineering positions feel about working here.

All in all, a lot of broken promises, bureaucracy, dysfunctional management and cynicism. Very bare-minimum time off. Paternity leave 5 days (excuse me?) Absolutely no remote work allowed. Period. You should be there, like a slave, even if you just sit at your office debugging. Ridiculous review cycle, which some managers do not follow. Cult of seniority. You are expected to do what you are told by higher-ups (de-facto; on paper Mathworks is a democracy where in fact it is a pure autocracy). Zero promotions. No feedback is heard. Everybody is pretty stuck up, nobody cracks jokes! Oh yes, CEO's idol is Jim Collins - he idolizes Mr. Collins, which quite discredits him in my eyes.
