Great company, smart people, growing fast

Pros: Wednesday breakfasts, Friday cookies, team outings, company outings, bright coworkers, opportunities to learn, casual culture, 6-month release cycle.
Cons: The company is growing rapidly. Because of this, many projects and problems overlap across teams, and I have seen competition between teams to solve problems rather than cooperation amongst them. The only other (minor) negative is location.

Great employer if you are not in EDG
Engineering Development Group (EDG) Engineer • Former Employee

January 20, 2024
Pros: MathWorks has some very interesting areas that they work on.
The work environment outside of EDG is great. Work-life balance is respected. EDG could be a good way for non-CS majors to get a foot in the door in the tech industry.
Cons: In EDG, your career is put on pause while you essentially continue to search for jobs at the company.
Technical support is a BIG part of EDG (often more than half the work!). Interviewers are generally not upfront about it.
You spend two weeks on a project, then two weeks focused on technical support. This slows down progress and feels extremely inefficient.
While MathWorks does not officially do mass layoffs, if they want to reduce headcount, EDG feels the squeeze.
