Work-Life Balance vs. Ambition

Pros

The perks and work-life balance are pretty fantastic. The culture is laid-back and most people are approachable and willing to help. The recent boom in hiring means there are many young people (which some like and some don't). Your experience here can be highly dependent on your manager. I have been lucky in that aspect.

Cons

The company, being process-oriented, takes metrics a bit too seriously. Metrics can be good guidelines to measure performance but they should not be taken as absolute truth. I have seen many people absorbed by meeting their metrics, thereby sacrificing the efforts they could have actually used to get things done. Since the company is slow-paced and risk-averse, sometimes the lack of motivation and ambition can be discouraging. This, combined with the less-than-average pay for a software company, contributes to many bright people escaping the company. Your experience here can be highly dependent on your manager. Others have not been lucky in that aspect.

Pros

EDG Program The EDG program is an excellent way to enter the MathWorks. The role combines technical support with project-based activities. Half of the employee's time is devoted to each. The technical support role provides a fast-paced learning environment. There's no better way to test your knowledge of the tools than by answering customer questions rapid-fire day after day. There are many projects available. These projects provide the employee with the ability to explore various career paths within the company. MathWorks Excellent work environment overall; great work-life balance, strong emphasis on continuous learning (i.e. internal training program, required training hours, many book clubs), rational workplace. Almost every decision is made with evidence and in the absence thereof, reason. I have never seen an instance where someone has made an authority-driven argument, which results in minimal politics. As a result, everyone is listened to in meetings, especially if they have evidence to back up their position.

Cons

MathWorks makes decisions slowly. Rational workplace has its cons, evidence is necessary before developing, development is necessary before obtaining evidence.
