Great Company

Business Outlook

Pros

Currently everyone is working from home, and there is an option to go into the office, if you are comfortable. We have successfully been working from home for over a year now, and have proven that this is possible. Great benefits!

Cons

Still unknown as to what things will look like when the office opens up further in a couple months, this is frustrating for a lot of people, trying to plan schedules and vacations. Pay is fair for the Natick area, but not for the Boston area.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent amount of training and there is no fear of being fired for under performing. Fun product to sell with lots of interesting customers. Great facilities

Cons

Pay is towards the bottom of the industry, especially when you consider the complexity of the sales cycle. Also, promotions are time based verse merit expect to be in any entry level role for more than a year before promotion.

Amazing company, product, and culture

Business Outlook

Pros

- The culture at here is unlike any other I've experienced, in part because everyone believes so strongly in the products - Virtually all MathWorkers are both extremely bright, but also personable (for the most part you'll need both to work here which can be hard to find in engineering/science companies) - Company is incredibly employee centric (i.e. amazing facilities, fun outings, great benefits, etc.)

Cons

- As others have mentioned, poor pre-covid work from home policy, although during covid all work has been remote and changes are apparently in the pipeline
