New Blood is needed in Sr Management

Pros

lots of products to learn. Talented engineers at your service. Friendly interaction between teams. Learning from the best at the best in each industry... Individuals care. Culture and environment used to be great... No more idea zones and places to do creative thinking as a group.

Cons

Work from home policy is horrendous. 3 days a year? That's ridiculous. No reason given, just want to have control. Trust your employees.. Lack of advancement. Sr Management have their pets and they see these individuals through the ranks. Promotions are rare, but not for your pet. Whatever you want is what they say. Layoffs are termed "Job eliminations"... Call a spade a spade.... Wake up and give more opportunity to these talented individuals. I see when the economy picks up, you will certainly be sorry for losing some terrific people to other companies.

Pros

- You get to work with very sharp/smart people - Outside world respects the company and its products - No cubicles!!

Cons

- Extremely political - No appreciation for job well done, No reason to perform well - Promotions/raises are non existent - Telecommuting policy is so third-world company - In spite of their stated corporate values, “to be a great place to work’, and other “work life balance” statements, the company culture is very high pressure and demanding.

Pros

it's a good software company to work with. It's products, namely Matlab and Simulink, hold the leading position in the industry.

Cons

In this economic downturn, more and more I feel disappointed of the company's handling of the layoffs it has been carrying out. It's secretive at the best, very sneaky. Employees often get the news of who gets let go by the word of mouth. The company basically refuses to admit any layoff.
