      Has its pros and cons

      Pros

      Excellent work life balance. I realized this after I left MathWorks. Little work related stress. There are some smart people around in some teams. Facilities like the gym are excellent. You get your own office. Pretty rare now-a-days. Depending on the team, your work will be exciting. Pay is reasonable.

      Cons

      Very slow moving company. Very slow growth. Lot of processes for a company of this size. The only way to grow is through the management chain. The EDG program is good for the company and to explore opportunities. However, if you know what you want, it's waste of time for the employee. The only good thing I felt of EDG was networking with people. Pay was not competitive for freshers when I was around. Work quality depends on the team you work for. Not the same everywhere.

      Documentation group is poorly run.

      Pros

      MathWorks is a good company that pays fairly and has lots of good benefits. It's very successful, and can be a fun place.

      Cons

      Rather than help poor performers improve, they just fire people ruthlessly. You really have to drink the Koolaid. It's hard to get promoted. All of this is especially true in the Doc Group. There are some good managers, but most are fresh out of a remake of "Mean Girls." You can learn to be a good writer here, but if you want to have fulfilling tech writing work, go elsewhere.

      High expectations, underwhelming results

      Revenue accounting and controls
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Consistently a leader in its class -Financially healthy -Great work/life balance -Fun parties -Young company

      Cons

      -Atrocious pay compared to regional market -Zero and I mean zero transparency -If you're not an engineer or developer, you're a commodity -Little to no advancement potential (salary or responsibility) for "S level" (service) positions - Revenue Accounting and Controls, Customer Service, Sales Support (Account Management) -Micromanagement in the extreme (President/CEO approving remote work requests and pricing discounts) -Account Management is sales support, plain and simple. -Customer Service is traditional CS, and Revenue Accounting and Controls is simply a glorified data entry and AR collections position. If you have a finance degree, and accounting degree, or an MBA you should *absolutely* not be spending your time in such a position. The people are great but you are wasting your time and valuable years of your early professional career. I understand people joining between 2007 and 2011 due to the economy but at this point, you're hurting your career advancement and severely handicapping your career advancement potential.
