Review for EDG
Applications Support Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
June 9, 2015
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.

Not the job for you if you are looking to start on day 1; it takes 3 months of training before you start on the job.
