Low pay, bad management

Business Outlook

Pros

You usually get a nice office

Cons

The pay is 30% to 40% lower than comparable positions at similarly sized software companies. The company uses a fairly arbitrary stack ranking policy so the managers are a bunch of butt-covering mediocrities who couldn't use a piece of software if their lives depended on it, never mind design and code up a piece of software.

Pros

MathWorks provides great benefits and a solid work/life balance. I work with interesting people and there are a mix of cultures and backgrounds.

Cons

For some the commute to Natick is a problem. Natick is a nice town, but the campus is not located right off a major highway.
