Pros

The place is very stable, stress is low, pay and benefits are decent (not great). Lots of very technical and interesting people.

Cons

Barely competent mid-level management, strong hierarchy. No career growth. Process heavy at the cost of innovation. 20th century style management.

Pros

- MathWorks has some very interesting areas that they work on. - The work environment outside of EDG is great. - Work-life balance is respected. - EDG could be a good way for non-CS majors to get a foot in the door in the tech industry.

Cons

- In EDG your career is put on pause while you essentially continue to search for jobs at the company. - Technical support is a BIG part of EDG (often more than half the work!). Interviewers are generally not upfront about it. - You spend two weeks on a project, then two weeks focused on technical support. This slows down progress and feels extremely inefficient. - While MathWorks does not officially do mass layoffs, if they want to reduce headcount EDG feels the squeeze.
