MathWorks reviews

Some development directors regularly put down and treat subordinates poorly They get away with it, because there is a culture of looking the other way when they act this way. This is not across the board, but there are some VERY bad apples, and it really affects the whole management chain, because the managers are walking on pins and needles trying to not rile up these directors who have short triggers. They preach respect and invest, but that seems to only hold true at the lower levels, and it is not true for how management treats its reports.

This is a good solid company with alot of potential, but I disliked working here. Management watches over you like a hawk. There is alot of micromanagement. They don't allow you to work from home at all. Career advancement is vitually none. Seniority is based on your number of years, and they treat new people (new = under 3 years) like they don't count . You can't voice your opinion or challege any of the antiquated process. Their answer is basically "It's the Mathworks way" which means shut up or I'll get you in trouble. There are meetings after meeting after meeting and most of them are a waste of time. However, you have to go or someone will tell your manager and get you in trouble.
