MathWorks reviews

People like working at MathWorks because of the quality of life it offers; however, they let give up higher pay, chance for career growth, and opportunity of making an impact at the company. MathWorks is focused on the process and that is seen in every aspect of company life: product releases, promotions/hiring, change to benefits. Everything has to go through a process to get approved. You won't get rich at MathWorks unless you've been there from the start. And the process for getting promoted is vague and the ultimate decision seems to rest in HR's hands, not your dept. Alot of requirements for promotion are things that are out of yoru control, like years of experience.

I've been with the company for more than 10 years. When you've been with a company that long as a senior employee, you think this is where it is for you. Well, unless the company's culture drastically changes. And that is what has happened to MathWorks. Leadership and management is so far away from their core values. There are so many examples I don't know where to start on how this company's culture has degraded. Then you layer on low salaries, micromanagers, constant change in direction (particularly in marketing), inconsistent leadership guidelines from group to group, no top down accountability, being punished for being a hard worker with more work, etc. you start looking for another job with another company.
