      Negative Experience in the Marketing Department

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great products, technical savy, strong engineering and industry focus.

      Cons

      The marketing department actively promotes and rewards bullying of junior or new employees. Micromanagement prevails, draconian review process with frequent belittling and demaning feedback. Communism with cookies. Turnover in the company is high for newer people, while the old guard soldiers on.

      Good for short-term, not so good in long-term for high performers

      Pros

      If you choose to, it is easier to maintain work-life balance at MathWorks. You get to work with some very smart people at this company. Mathworks is a private company and as a result, the owner's philosophy has a lot of impact on the future of the company. Jack Little has vision.

      Cons

      Vision alone is not enough, implementation is equally important. This is where things break down in MathWorks as management is ineffective. Most of the managers have rosen from within the company and as a result, cliques are very common which makes the atmosphere too political and resistant to change. Also, poor time management skills are not uncommon among senior level managers. MathWorks doesn't seem to believe in firing inept people, as a result, you will come across many mid-level employees who are under-performers and would try to ensure that the new employees in the company underperform as well. This hampers the career advancement of employees who report to the mid-level managers and prevents the company, as a whole from responding quickly to the changing nature of the industry.
