Ultra-Micromanagement & Burnout

Pros

- Very well established products that have a large footprint in the market across various industries and geographies.

Cons

- An ultra-micromanaged organization with very clear hierachies. Low Level employees and beginners have no say. - Managers seem to have no education in business Administration or HR and are usually people with a very technical background without and skills to manage human beings. - Low salaries compared to other software companies. Salary increases do almost not exist and the stakeholder Bonus is so low at the end of the year. - Very difficult working environment for people who have a aamily. You cannot work from home and if you want to take some time off to care about your family MathWorks is trying everything to prevent you from doing it. - A huge amount of bureaucracy and infinite number of review cycles for every little project you do. - Zero possibility to work from home. - No positive Feedback for accomplishments but huge pressure and threat when something does not work immediately. - Huge workload and I saw many people leaving with a burnout over the last years.

Pros

Lots of exposure to customers from different industries and domains. Highly reputed company. Very structured. Lot of emphasis on training employees and on continuous learning. Strong corporate culture with a focus on core values. Privately owned so can focus on long-term goals and thus very stable.

Cons

The work environment can initially be perceived as inflexible to change by people who have worked in other, possibly faster-moving, companies.
