      Lots of talk about greatness, but little follow-through

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of smart people, good software. If you drink the kool-aid and buy-in to the contract, then it is probably a nice place to work, if you don't, don't even consider this company.

      Cons

      Glacial pace of development Very little influence due to organization structure Macintosh platform all but ignored, despite management statements to the contrary Lots of lip service to core values - not much in practice If you want to be creative - MathWorks is not the place to be

      Smart, conservative and controlling

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart people Rapid fans for customers developing really awesome products and results Good work, life environment Stable, profitable company Defacto standard in the market

      Cons

      Control is quite centralized Upper management has been with the company a long time so it's hard to gain real traction and influence Control is maintained through detailed processes that stifle innovation and creativity Ambition is a four letter word

      Great for entry-level and domain experts

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting problems, smart people to work with, Core values are largely practiced well, pretty good compensation and benefits, company has good reputation for your next job, decent bonus structure, lots of food and drink

      Cons

      The company is losing its way and not valuing employees by pushing out experienced staff to lower costs, development processes are archaic, decision making is slow but not for the consensus-building reasons they say, no equity, when the core values aren't followed they're mutilated, no respect for the skills you have other than maybe what they think they hired you for, opaque review process that is sometimes used abusively for political purposes, key decisions are only made by trusted old-timers and if you're not one you can end your career quickly by attempting improvements, remote work policy is absurd
