MathWorks Work Experiences
- 4.0Stable company, slow to adapt to industry trendsSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesDecember 1, 2020Pros: - Excellent work-life balance. - Very smart and pleasant people to work with. - A lot of autonomy in doing your work. - Each person gets his/her own office.Cons: - As many other people have pointed out, compensation tends to be a little bit on the lower end of the scale relative to the Boston Area and industry. However, you do gain some free time to pursue other interests, which I think is something. - Some business units are a bit isolated from the general software development trends going around in the industry, and there is a general reluctance of senior management to adopt new technologies.
