So much unrealized potential

Account representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Its a comfortable work environment with minimal stress and good pay as long as you are on the engineering side. The office is nice and the benefits seem to be on par with similar companies

Cons

Old fashioned management and lazy company culture. Career growth is based upon time served instead of achievements. You can be the top performer and not receive a promotion for many years. Process after process for everything as well. If you are a remote employee you are scorned. Management has been in place for a while and there are a lot of older, out of touch managers that are not familiar with modern practices.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good food comfotable life for people in pilot and consulting groups. Plus no targets. Just like priests in temple let the customer feel awed about it. Earlier mathworks was good as a lot of new ideas ..now its idol worship

Cons

Due to high revenue , lot of money spent on leizure which makes it difficult to be employable anywhere else ..

Negative Experience in the Marketing Department

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, technical savy, strong engineering and industry focus.

Cons

The marketing department actively promotes and rewards bullying of junior or new employees. Micromanagement prevails, draconian review process with frequent belittling and demaning feedback. Communism with cookies. Turnover in the company is high for newer people, while the old guard soldiers on.
