Good Pay, Broken Promises
Good Pay, Broken Promises
Competitive pay, which is automatically raised by 3-4% each year. Challenging product.
All in all, a lot of broken promises, bureaucracy, dysfunctional management, and cynicism.
Very bare-minimum time off. Paternity leave is 5 days (excuse me?). Absolutely no remote work allowed, period.
You should be there, like a slave, even if you just sit at your office debugging.
Ridiculous review cycle, which some managers do not follow.
Cult of seniority. You are expected to do what you are told by higher-ups (de facto; on paper Mathworks is a democracy, but in fact it is a pure autocracy).
Zero promotions.
No feedback is heard.
Everybody is pretty stuck up; nobody cracks jokes!
Oh yes, the CEO's idol is Jim Collins - he idolizes Mr. Collins, which quite discredits him in my eyes.
