A good place to receive training and become a software engineer

Pros: Workload there is not that high and it's a good place to enjoy life and work. Besides, Boston is a great place.
Cons: Rely too much on MATLAB itself to develop new tools. If you want to stick to the same job and company, that is a great place.

Great employer if you are not in EDG
Engineering Development Group (EDG) Engineer • Former Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
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.
