    Great culture, products, opportunity to make a difference

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Mathworks has a great company culture. The employees are open minded, collaborative, and willing to help. The company is driven by a desire to make world-class products that make a real difference to engineers and scientists. There’s no sense of complacency, we want to make our products better every release. As an employee, you can expect to be challenged and supported. Your coworkers are also invested in your success. It is challenging to overstate the impact of our products in the world. Nearly every scientific, breakthrough and engineered system in the world use our tools to some degree, it is exciting to be a part of that. It is refreshing that management prioritizes long-term thinking. While many other tech companies are currently cutting jobs and benefits to prop up their share price, MathWorks is hiring and maintaining benefits so we can continue to improve our products.

    Cons

    We want to make sure the tools are built correctly, which can lead to a slower pace to development.

    I'm so happy to be working at MathWorks

    Mar 22, 2023 - Software Engineer In Test 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    MathWorks values home/life balance with their hybrid model and general attitude for not expecting employees to take work home with them. The company has a forward-looking approach on helping not only their customers but their employees as well. The hybrid model is well implemented with set common days to be on campus to maximize collaborative effort when working in person which helps build stronger connections within teams. New employees will often being in the Engineering Development Group (EDG, depending on the role they applied for) during which employees gather useful information about the company and are able to explore the many areas of focus the company offers. MathWorks also offers strong perks for their MathWorkers from breakfast/lunch, individual office spaces, a gym with various fitness classes, valuable training courses, health and well being resources, and more.

    Cons

    If entering the company through EDG, employees will need to work in Tech Support before starting their official role which can be challenging if seeking a role that is not customer-facing or if Tech Support is not your forte.

    Amazing work-life balance, flexible hours, "common sense" company policies

    Feb 8, 2023 - Software Engineer In Test in Natick, MA

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Free cafeteria -Flexible work hybrid schedule (they ask you come in 2 days a week, they don't demand it. pretty flexible in that regard) -Eco friendly -Beautiful campus -Private offices -Good pay, not amazing, but good. -Excellent benefits (except where listed in cons) -Team members are helpful and collaborative -unlimited sick time (great if you have medical conditions!)

    Cons

    -You do have to live nearby, since they want you to come in twice a week. Not true remote (but you can work remotely temporarily depending on your situation or if something comes up) -You have to be married to your partner to share the company health insurance- can't do parents or domestic partners. Only spouses and kids -promotions are slow and mainly based on time, rather than true ability. -onboarding is super overloaded and doesn't cover the most relevant information. much of it is actually wrong in some cases. but teams are understanding about you not really learning anything during the official trainings/onboarding - actual vacation time is meh, not bad, just meh. you do get 3 days of "personal time" though.
