Good people, smart workforce. Senior management outdated and no creativity......

Technical support engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

MathWorks is a nice place to work. People seem very friendly and intelligent. The quality of life is great and a good balance between work and personal life can be easily achieved. There is very little pressure compared to other companies. Overall, it is a great company if you are looking to settle down in life and retire.

Cons

It is not the place for ambitious and young people who are looking for ways to make things happen. Though second line managers are nice, nothing is within their reach when it comes to decision making. The company is extremely resistant to change and this stifles creativity. Always looks for safety and rarely takes a chance to go for the big one.

Great products, great results, comfortable but limiting work environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Principled leadership Market-leading products Comfortable work environment Excellent benefits Mutual respect among colleagues Lots of talent If your goals are to have good work/life balance, do interesting work, and be part of a successful company with market leading products, The MathWorks is tough to beat. But if you are looking for more than that, you will be left wanting.

Cons

Consensus-driven approach can sometimes paralyze decision-making. The Company is rigidly inflexible when it comes to working remotely in a misguided effort to maintain the corporate culture. Career development is really lacking; the better one is at his/her job, the longer one can expect to stay in that job. Some long-timers in middle-management are punching the clock.
