Pros

As an employee you would get an opportunity to learn MATLAB and Simulink as you would be using them extensively.

Cons

A serious lack of scope to move in to diverse areas. Also, the work environment has scope for improvement.

Hire from within first, lots of snacks, drinks available- all around nice people.

Not great management that led me to leave. Should re-visit hiring/firing policy to get rid of the inefficient people. Very low starting salary.

Pros

MathWorks is a great place to work for certain people. If you're looking for a sales job out of school and want to learn from good sales people, MW is a good starting point but it's unlikely you'd want to be there more than 6-12 months. If you're an older seasoned salesperson and want good work/life balance and no pressure to perform, MW is a good place for you as well -Great work life balance -Great facilities (gym, cafe, outside space, etc.) -Overall good people -No pressure to be successful or hit your number

Cons

This company could be great but they do not incentivize sales people, they don't acknowledge top performers, and most people in the company think the product sells itself. Top management cant make any decisions and when they do its strictly political with not rhyme or reason for what decision or promotions were made/given out. Extremely low paying for sales people, almost embarrassing how low the pay is compared to other companies in this space. -they give no reason to be motivated -morale has taken a dive -sales people aren't respected/acknowledged -no growth potential at all -compensation is well below industry standards Do not work at MathWorks if you're interested in career growth, high pay, opportunity to be promoted, or have any sort of ambition.
