Ultra-Micromanagement & Burnout

Pros

- Very well established products that have a large footprint in the market across various industries and geographies.

Cons

- An ultra-micromanaged organization with very clear hierachies. Low Level employees and beginners have no say. - Managers seem to have no education in business Administration or HR and are usually people with a very technical background without and skills to manage human beings. - Low salaries compared to other software companies. Salary increases do almost not exist and the stakeholder Bonus is so low at the end of the year. - Very difficult working environment for people who have a aamily. You cannot work from home and if you want to take some time off to care about your family MathWorks is trying everything to prevent you from doing it. - A huge amount of bureaucracy and infinite number of review cycles for every little project you do. - Zero possibility to work from home. - No positive Feedback for accomplishments but huge pressure and threat when something does not work immediately. - Huge workload and I saw many people leaving with a burnout over the last years.

Pros

MathWorks knows how to take care of their employees in a way that few companies know how to. I love working here and feel privileged to be part of the team. My role is very exciting and gives me the opportunity to grow and be challenged everyday. With interactions ranging from the space agency to the automotive field as Application Engineers we get to see it all. The management structure in place has been incentivized to really remove obstacles from the path of us as engineers from being the best engineers we can. I feel bad for management sometimes since they are truly outstanding engineers from top schools themselves, but can be forced to be very process oriented.

Cons

As long as you are ok with being thoughtful from a customer perspective then this company can do wonders for your soul. Unfortunately, some people like to be innovative and creative in a vacuum such as coming out with a new idea but not really getting it validated by customers then this company is not for you and then perhaps a more research oriented role is a better fit.
