A very comfortable place to work, with less than outstanding career opportunities for young stars
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
November 25, 2008
Pros: The MathWorks is a very comfortable place to work.
The products are not generally the best in terms of usability or quality, but the sheer number of users makes the job worthwhile.
It is a fun environment for the most part, with many interesting people.
Cons: Career opportunities are not great. There are two tracks within software development: technical and managerial.
Progression along both tracks is essentially seniority-based, despite the performance review process. The company is growing at a good pace, so promotions generally seem to occur as your team grows.
Compensation is generally based on years of experience and may not reflect your contribution.
