Too much micromanagement in EDG

Applications support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Modern workplace, nice facilities including gym and offices. Free breakfast on Wednesdays.

Cons

Poor management at EDG. The managers tend to micromanage people and create a kindergarten like atmosphere. EDG is a ruse for them to get Technical support done by highly qualified people and their values have diverged from the company's core values. Work/life balance is screwed up since you have to frequently have to work 12hr days and the hard work you would put in is not appreciated but rather seen as standard expectations. None of the managers have technical skills so they frequently try to evade questions by asking the same questions back to people. "What do you think" is the most commonly used phrase here and there is never any logical explanation for anything.

Unethical Hiring Practices

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I wish I could have found out what the pros were.

Cons

I was "hired" at Math Works a few months ago. I interviewed twice with several people. The corporate recruiter praised my candidacy, called all of my references, ran a background check, gave me my pay rate, a verbal offer, and an idea of when I would start my first day. I found it odd that I hadn't heard from the recruiter in a week, so I emailed her. Nothing. I called her, left messages, and she ignored my calls. Two weeks went by... nothing. Three weeks... nothing. You get the point. I was given a verbal offer and then I never heard from the recruiter again. Very surprising for such a large and successful company, and extremely disappointing. I would never apply for a job there again and have told friends and family about my experience so that they can avoid going through the trouble as well.

EDG = Call centre

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing at all. It's a call centre job. People in EDG are there because they can't get out. The moments someone sees an opportunity to leave they leave.

Cons

Call centre. Not much development opportunities. Bad salary. Bad work times.
