Process
I really enjoyed my interview at Mathworks. The people seemed really smart and motivated. I think they have a hard time hiring senior technical people from other companies. The culture is very much to join right after college and grow with the company. Since it's privately held, the culture is a bit insular.

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.
