MathWorks – “Great benefits and salary, very slow career growth”

Pros

Very relaxed and engaging atmosphere with great benefits and perks. It is a very stable company that is a leader in its market segment. It feels good to work on products that make a true difference in the world

Cons

Becoming very process driven, which invariably slows down the pace of work and can be very frustrating at times. The pace of career development is atrociously slow.

Advice to Senior Management

Management must do a much better job of explaining what factors go into promotion decisions and what career growth avenues are available - they tend to treat this information as a state secret, which makes no sense.
