MathWorks reviews

Pay and benefits are more than fair and it's been a strong compliment to ownership that not many people, if any, have lost their jobs. The building is modern, colorful, and comfortable.

This review is primarily in regards to what it is like to work in MathWorks Marketing (not Product Marketing). If you try hard, you can find "your people" so you can commiserate on the lunacy of the senior marketing leadership. Marketing should be innovative, ALL of the senior marketing leaders have been there for 25-30 years and are in their sixties, how much more value can they actually provide? They are custodians of the department not navigators. They should amplify the younger talent on their teams but do not. Much of the malignancy can be found in Field Marketing which possesses power to call the shots across the entire organization. Their leadership lacks modern marketing expertise so instead maintains their power through incessant backstabbing to the point when the more talented and innovative marketers have had enough and move on. This is not a new phenomenon, this has been happening for decades. Marketers that remain there stay for the paycheck and keep their heads down in fear that they may be recognized for their accomplishments to only be taken down notches by the Field Marketing Malignancy. Free cookies are great, so are the annual trips although they tend to be uncomfortable and allows you to show your family how weird the place can be. Caf is top notched and the overall reputation of the place is stellar, except of course for the marketing department.
