MathWorks Work Experiences
1.0
Low pay, bad management
Engineering • Current Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
August 26, 2013
Pros: You usually get a nice office.
Cons: The pay is 30% to 40% lower than comparable positions at similarly sized software companies.
The company uses a fairly arbitrary stack ranking policy, so the managers are a bunch of butt-covering mediocrities who couldn't use a piece of software if their lives depended on it, never mind design and code up a piece of software.

MathWorks is great, but EDG is okay

Pros: + Free food and gym
+ Easily network with people higher up in the organization
+ Can find friends to do things outside of work
Cons: EDG is a queue. The longer you stay, the more likely you will be let go. It feels like a Tetris game right now since there are no reqs.
