Great benefits and salary, very slow career growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Very relaxed and engaging atmosphere with great benefits and perks. It is a very stable company that is a leader in its market segment. It feels good to work on products that make a true difference in the world

Cons

Becoming very process driven, which invariably slows down the pace of work and can be very frustrating at times. The pace of career development is atrociously slow.

Pros

Stability. Stability. Stability. Stability. Stability. Stability.Good place to find a niche.

Cons

The MathWorks is a very quirky environment. Certainly not a place to be a visionary and think you can change the world. The need for buy-in from all stakeholders and the need to over-analyze processes creates hurdles. Did I mention quirky?

Great place to work, but you need to fit into the distinct culture

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a company committed to long term goals and organic growth, and not seeking short term profit. It has a very nice friendly atmosphere where your personal growth is strongly encouraged. Offers good benefits and treat employees with respect.

Cons

It is a bit like a club - either you are in or out. During 25 years of organic growth, the company has developed a very unique consensus-oriented culture and decision making process is very complex and slow. Some people couldn't make this adjustment.
