Great company with good benefits. If you are an Engineer, there are good career prospects for you.

Senior program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance, benefits (great 401k matching, great facilities), generally good intelligent people. A growing company that is profitable and stable.

Cons

Culture can be a bit insular. Tend to promote from within, but do not always promote the right people for the right reason. Career progression is very slow and limited to management. No real career prospects for non-Development specialists. Slow to make decisions and to learn from others who have done something successfully before.

Business Outlook

Pros

People are really nice, great work and life balance. and great training opportunity to improve yourself. There is also a gym in the company which is very convenient.

Cons

Pace is slow, teams are using Agile, but some managers are not trained with the Agile knowledge. Peer quotes are not that useful and a lot of time is wasted on writing them.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee focused, rational planning and management processes Emphasis on long-term growth Strong profit-sharing program, great 401k matching

Cons

Ingrown management staff Resistance to bringing in new ideas from other companies You are considered "the new guy" until you've been at MathWorks at least two years Product development drives new product planning, making new product launches awkward. Staff members may be stuck in the same job for many years
