      The Best Place to Work for!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I work in the UK office (in Cambridge). Almost everything is a pro here. The problems are always challenging, and the managers do not push you to deliver, but still they have a good view of the team, thus they know if someone needs some help. The work-life balance is astonishing. 5:30 sharp is possible to go home, none never asked me to stay after business hours (although I admit that I tend to stay late since I love what I do). People are always nice, competent and humble. You can ask everything to everyone and they always try to help. Finally there is a constant push for learning and improving. Book-clubs, trainining, courses and so on. Anyone passionate about math and programming should join us!

      Cons

      Maybe the only drawback (in my opinion) is the lack of papers that we publish, making MathWors not extremely a research oriented company.

      Great company, great culture, but not for everyone

      Pros

      - Great product that is well respected within many engineering & academic communities. - Great work/life balance. There are rush to complete the "work" at times, but the pressure is minimal compared to other B2B businesses. - Very stable business model - diversified. Slow growth but very stable. - Admirable company mission and open culture lead by visionary CEO. - Good health/401k benefit. - Excellent HQ facilities and continuously improving year after year. - Great for someone who is interested in laid-back, risk free software development environment.

      Cons

      - The salaries are sub-par compared with other software companies. - Follower of innovation: the company is not a leader in innovation rather a follower of implementing already proven/validated technology trends. - EDG - it can make you or break you. It can be a great training and learning experience for some and waste of time for others with much talent. - Review process (depends on the team): Some team do not value the actual work being complete rather visibility amongst peer is "measured" and used as common benchmark to evaluate one's ability to do one's job. It's like a popularity contest. It's ridiculous. - Poor management (depends on the team): Some upper management lacks in-depth technical knowledge and insight. When a question is asked, often replied back with "What do you think?" without answering the question. When you answer your own question, the manager simply validate you and treat you as if you are stupid for asking the question. Some managers are incapable of leading in-depth technical discussion, at times absolutely lost on directing team's goal, and lacks people management skills. - Slow decision making process. Concept to product takes long chain of decisions and at times, not even completed.
