Could be great, but it's not

Pros

MathWorks is a great place to work for certain people. If you're looking for a sales job out of school and want to learn from good sales people, MW is a good starting point but it's unlikely you'd want to be there more than 6-12 months. If you're an older seasoned salesperson and want good work/life balance and no pressure to perform, MW is a good place for you as well -Great work life balance -Great facilities (gym, cafe, outside space, etc.) -Overall good people -No pressure to be successful or hit your number

Cons

This company could be great but they do not incentivize sales people, they don't acknowledge top performers, and most people in the company think the product sells itself. Top management cant make any decisions and when they do its strictly political with not rhyme or reason for what decision or promotions were made/given out. Extremely low paying for sales people, almost embarrassing how low the pay is compared to other companies in this space. -they give no reason to be motivated -morale has taken a dive -sales people aren't respected/acknowledged -no growth potential at all -compensation is well below industry standards Do not work at MathWorks if you're interested in career growth, high pay, opportunity to be promoted, or have any sort of ambition.

Pros

Strong team-building and focus on developing great products/solutions for customers. Nice workplace and intelligent coworkers make this a fun place to work. Private company in charge of own destiny (not shareholder driven)

Cons

Company heavily focuses on internal communications, which is positive, but sometimes leads to missed opportunities to listen to customers. Tendency to take too long to make decisions. Strange career development path in many areas of company. Come in at high salary level otherwise you're stuck.
