Poor choice for women

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting product and technology, smart colleagues, day-to-day work load is reasonable

Cons

Limited career growth, particularly for women, senior women are treated as less knowledgeable than junior male colleagues, company said they would be looking into diversity in 2020, but nothing happened, no transparency on salaries or even the gender makeup of departments and management, looking at average salaries, I am making shockingly less than the average salary with my experience. I wish I had gone to another company earlier in my career.

Generally great, with some caveats

Business Outlook

Pros

Good management and HR practices, a good place to learn management skills. Bonus program is fantastic, if you’re a high performer and have been there a few years. Great benefits program too. Logic generally rules the day, little politics. Strong company culture. Many people have been there a long time, which helps them be effective in their roles. Strong investment in IT. High standards and high caliber coworkers. Good work life balance.

Cons

Base salaries not competitive. Soul-crushing perfectionism — and I say this as a self admitted perfectionist. Slow decision making processes. Trust has no place at MathWorks. No leaps of faith. Long tenure of people means they often lack outside perspective or fresh thinking. A dry, humorless place for the most part, if you’re a manager. Slow career progression.
