Great Company

Pros

Great company culture. For the most part, leadership really cares for their staff and want to make it a great place to work. Strong belief to "do the right thing". My team is happy and works well together.

Cons

Hybrid work schedule is fairly strict. The desire to "do the right thing" can sometimes lead to analysis paralysis and decisions can take a long time. That said, new leaders are trying to make positive changes to solve for this issue.

Turnover too high

Pros

MathWorks has great work-life balance, the work is really interesting, colleagues are awesome, and rational workplace for the most part.

Cons

Turnover is senior management has been very disruptive and confusing. I wish there was more clarity about direction from the top rather than just worries about staffing different layers of management. We all just want to get back to work. There is a big issue with the companies DEI initiatives (or lack of them).

Stable Job

Pros

- Great benefits and perks: Free breakfast and lunch, free gym and classes, discounts, great healthcare, beautiful facilities, company trips, stakeholder bonuses, and more - Agreement on trying to do the right thing; the company as a whole doesn't feel too corporate and it's nice to have leadership who truly understand the products and technology - Job stability - there's never been a quarter where there wasn't a stakeholder bonus. - Nice coworkers who are largely trying to improve processes - Solid work-life balance - Feeling like the work you do is actually making an impact in science and technology

Cons

- Culture of "sameness" - speaking up for what you think is right or how things could be done differently is not always valued depending on departmental/manager politics. There is a lot of resistance to change if it's coming from the bottom up. - Executive decision-making is rational until it isn't. The decision to up the number of mandatory in-office days from two to three is a perfect example of this. Execs admitted this was not a data-based decision, but rather because they wanted it. - A hiring freeze is creating some strain. Workload varies wildly from person to person and can be unpredictable. - It's easy to put in the bare minimum without a negative impact as long as you go with the flow and keep your head down, and likewise, it's very easy to work hard and put in quality work without being seen.
