Comfort zone company with a slow pace of growth
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
October 4, 2017
Pros: Get to work on a project from end-to-end.
Book clubs to enhance your skills.
Indoor games and gym.
Cab service.
Cons: Anything and everything is slow at MathWorks. An example is two of the pros mentioned above: Gym and Cab Service were provided in 2017, the 9th year since MathWorks was established in India.
Hire postgraduates and above for Technical Support. Let them rot in technical support for 1.5-2 years, thereby ruining their career prospects.
Bad food for lunch, which started in 2017 as well.
Projects progress at a slow pace because of reviews with multiple layers of management.
No real interaction between project owner and end-users.
Two end releases of MATLAB per year cause too much pressure for quantity over quality.
No work from home.
HR folks do not bother about employee needs in India. If there is a need for something, they check if it is provided in the US office to decide if it should be provided here. The benefits differ a lot between the US office and the India office.
