Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company; everyone has an office. Health benefits are good. Free beverages, fruit and cookies on Friday. People are very pleasant. Salaries are average. Jack is a positive leader and has created a strong and technically superior product.

Cons

Polices and processes are inflexible and plentiful. Many processes are not posted and people get blind-sided by peers or managers in reviews by these unwritten rules. HR Review process is very old-school and cumbersome, and focused on what you do wrong. Unlike all modern companies - there is no option to work from home (allowed a maximum of 3 days a year).

Business Outlook

Pros

The MathWorks is a great software company - primarily because the technology is cutting edge, but also because the company has a rational workplace. It is a professionally respectful environment and the work-life balance is great.

Cons

Sometimes when you're new to the company getting changes considered and adopted can be an uphill battle. It seems like you need to learn The MathWorks Way before you have credibility, regardless of your seniority walking in the door.
