MathWorks reviews

@MathWorks HYD office: Senior management at the HYD office is the worst. Neither they respect nor recognize hard work. They show a lot of favouritism. Unrealistic deadlines, no proper planning, and they indirectly force people to work long hours by loading them with more work in a short period of time. They do a lot of micro management. Many of the managers show bad attitude and are not at all supportive or empathetic towards their team members. The managers lack professional ethics and any administration skills. Well, HYD office was a startup at HYD acquired by MathWorks. This is definitely one of the worst decisions that the CEO has made. The sr.management at HYD office don't lead by example. They maintain the "do as I say" mentality. They advertise MathWorks core values but never follow. It never reflects in their day-to-day activities. Be it be any company outtings or providing snacks, milk, and beverages to the employees, they always buy the cheaper ones in the market and doesn't care about the quality of the items that they buy and how it impacts an individual's health.

- Slow moving product that is losing traction to open-source and programming becoming more ubiquitous in science and engineering fields. - Hiring mentality that everyone is replaceable, which leads to lower salaries for tech and a critical mass of mediocre hires who are largely not independent and motivated. - Development mentality to use as little resources as possible to deliver minimum viable product that checks a box. For example, "yes, we do deep learning. Here's *a* solution". - Marketing departments specifically lacking in "doers". People constantly looking to defend old-school standpoints and justify slow development action to avoid doing any significant work. - The praise I have received from management has always been on small one-off projects unrelated to my main job rather than what I consider to be my most significant and rewarding contributions. - Location is in the suburbs, a little ways out of the city.
