Pros: Good work culture, products that touch many lives. Core values, good work-life balance.

Cons: EDG in India is quite poor. Students from premiere institutions are recruited and told they can make a career in their respective fields, but this is not true. Once a fresher joins, he/she will come to know there are no choices to make as such. There are only 5 departments and no core roles. Very few openings make transfers for EDG very difficult. Getting stuck with a support profile is the worst thing that can happen for a career, especially for engineers from top-notch institutes. Only a few technologies are helpful for a long-term career outside MathWorks. Managers from other departments recruit people from outside; even freshers are recruited, which calls the EDG model into question. People don't leave because they are left with no choice, but rather stay in EDG. During recruitment, students are not told the truth about the career opportunities.

Pros: Work with smart people. Challenging, exciting work that varies day to day. Many opportunities to get "training". You do not have to decide on a career until after you work here for a while, so there is flexibility. Career opportunities, though not as many as advertised during the hiring process, they are still there.

Cons: Management for the "Engineering Development Group" should not be managing a development group. They are basically technical support managers, and generally good at that, but do not have any clear mandate to focus at all on the non-support side of this group. This is clear as they continually make decisions that sacrifice engineers' long-term career development at MathWorks for short-term technical support goals. The work culture of the Engineering Development Group is not in line with the principles and values of the rest of the company. The dual demand for our time, coupled with homework assignments (yes, there is homework in EDG), routinely makes working after work hours or on the weekends necessary. The common complaint for this position is simply that the 50/50 support/project time split, which is repeated all throughout the hiring process and at career fairs, is simply not true. 70/30 is more accurate.

Pros: Great place to learn and work. It's like getting paid to attend university.

Cons: Low growth, low pay grade.
