MathWorks reviews

N.B.: HR encourages employees to write GlassDoor reviews soon after they join, before they realize they've been trapped. Ignore the positive reviews and read the moderate-to-negative ones. In my experience: - The culture is corporate, cut-throat, and pretentious (e.g. coworkers are "colleagues") - High pressure, low pay - Lots of code (20 million+ LOC), very little documentation - High micromanagement, low autonomy - Managers will scold you for talking with your teammates about anything not related to your immediate task - Managers treat your estimates as commitments - It is improper to suggest new ideas unless you've been there several years - You'll leave with few transferrable skills because all of their tools are custom-made - Despite claims to diversity, the workforce is largely Indian

Poor management at EDG. The managers tend to micromanage people and create a kindergarten like atmosphere. EDG is a ruse for them to get Technical support done by highly qualified people and their values have diverged from the company's core values. Work/life balance is screwed up since you have to frequently have to work 12hr days and the hard work you would put in is not appreciated but rather seen as standard expectations. None of the managers have technical skills so they frequently try to evade questions by asking the same questions back to people. "What do you think" is the most commonly used phrase here and there is never any logical explanation for anything.
