Pros

Work Life Balance is great! Friendly and helpful staff. You can reach out to anyone. Great opportunities for ECE+CS background people.

Cons

EDG which is a great program in MathWorks ruined by Indian EDG culture. Should understand that there is a difference between a support person and a technical support person. EDG is a bad program in india. It works for very few people. Very old code base. Not too intuitive to understand either. Old technologies used. Poor wfh culture. Although its not easy but it could be adapted. Not many perks. Just a few. No extra curricular activities like tournaments, games, etc. Could be a little boring.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent Work-life balance. - Very smart people and pleasant people to work with - A lot of autonomy in doing your work - Each person gets his/her own office

Cons

-As many other people have pointed out, Compensation tends to be a little bit on the lower end of the scale relative to the Boston Area and industry. However, you do gain some free time to pursue other interests which I think is something - Some Business units are a bit isolated on the general Software development trends going around in the industry and there is a general reluctance of Senior management to adopt to new technologies
