Too much politics instead of innovation

Pros

Very good benefits, good culture and friendly co-workers

Cons

Instead of investing on innovation and promoting new ideas, some upper management thinking for their own position and benefits. Therefore no new ideas are recognized, and no body get promoted. Some upper management are not familiar with different industry ad therefore they don't have the right idea to develop the right tool for specific industry.

Pros

Great products. Solid, stable and growing company. Generally very good at self correcting.

Cons

There are politics like any other company and there are favored individuals and groups. If you are in that category you are all set. Takes a long time for advancement. Average salaries but bonus program is very good, especially if you wait long enough for a good performance rating.

Pros

MathWorks is a world-renowned company making the best tools possible. Highly technical and smart people. My major kudos to: - Quarterly (profit sharing) bonuses helps significantly with the base salary. - Free breakfast/cookies/drinks. - Nice gestures of appreciation (i.e. Ice cream day, annual MW weekend in NH). - Extremely solid company expanding for future growth and reinvesting; job is well-secured. - Nice, collaborative environment, friendly workers all around campus.

Cons

My major gripes: - Too much micro-management, not enough trust. Can't get my work done independently and move on without being constantly bothered by another meeting, a process or workflow change, or the status of something. - Lower than average base salary for doing a hell of a job. - Not enough opportunities for in-house training or courses (unless it's MATLAB or coding related). - Performance reviews are long and drawn out for a small salary increase. - People need to learn to do their homework before escalating the easiest problems that can be fixed by the power of Google, even if you're not tech-savvy.
