Pros

I've been working for MathWorks more than 4 years. Great people, stable products, and a healthy work life balance.

Cons

If you don't need to learn new programming languages, don't need to learn how to develop distributed systems, or don't need to learn modern Dev/Ops, this is a great company for retirement. Otherwise working for the company for a long time may leave you behind in the modern era, because the company's main products are supposed to be installed and run on a standalone machine. You don't get to work on modern technologies other companies such as Netflix, Uber, or Airbnb have been using. Read engineering blogs or watch tech talks to see if you are keeping up with latest technologies: if not, you'll soon find yourself outdated in software industry.

Pros

Get to work on a project from end-to-end Book clubs to enhance your skills Indoor games and Gym Cab service

Cons

Anything and everything is slow at MathWorks. An example is two of the pros mentioned above, Gym and Cab Service are provided in 2017, the 9th year since MathWorks was established in India. Hire Postgraduates and above for Technical Support. Let them rot in technical support for 1.5-2 years, thereby ruining their career prospects. Bad food for lunch, started in 2017 as well. Projects progress at slow pace because of reviews with multiple layers of management. No real interaction between project owner and end-users. Two end releases of MATLAB per year causing too much pressure for quantity over quality. No work from home. HR folks do not bother about employee needs in India. If there is a need for something, they check if it is provided in the US office to decide if we have to provide it here. The benefits differ a lot between the US ofc and India ofc.
