Mathworks Engineer review

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed and well paced work, excellent work-life balance.

Cons

Maybe the lower side of the pay grade, very process oriented, middle management does nothing to address your pain points and growth is directly proportional to the time to spend in the company

Pros

Personal offices, good benefits, and heavy investment in infrastructure and developer tools

Cons

My biggest complaints are: - Annual salary boosts aren't that great. I meet new hires with less experience earning more than me. - The organizational maturity is really tough to measure here. It is most immediately evident in the products themselves: an automatic update model is finally being rolled out in 2018, and the company still seems to bend over backwards to release patches for specific $$$ customers. Looking deeper, one notices that a proper issue tracking system (in this case, Jira) was only adopted in 2018 (and the adoption feels...slipshod). Somehow, my experience at my previous job with a much smaller and younger company felt significantly better organized. Of course, if you were to ask the project management teams, you would probably hear a completely different story.
