Pros: Good work-life balance and good pay.

Cons: Unclear guidance on your work.

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: 1. Good work-life balance. I never had to spend any weekends for work. 2. Good projects to work on. I could work on some interesting projects during my time with the Embedded Targets team. 3. Good work environment and learning opportunities. Colleagues and managers were very friendly and helped me to improve my skills. They were always open to knowledge sharing. 4. The EDG program gave me the opportunity to work with multiple teams and later on transfer to a team of my interest. This was really helpful, since as a fresher out of college, I got ample time to understand the teams and decide which one to join. 5. Good profit sharing (bonus) with employees.

Cons: Compared to the Natick (US) office, the office facilities are not up to the mark. With more recruitment, the office space became crowded. Office stationery was also very limited. The canteen had very few food options.
