Pluspunten
Good management and HR practices, a good place to learn management skills. Bonus program is fantastic, if you’re a high performer and have been there a few years. Great benefits program too. Logic generally rules the day, little politics. Strong company culture. Many people have been there a long time, which helps them be effective in their roles. Strong investment in IT. High standards and high caliber coworkers. Good work life balance.
Minpunten
Base salaries not competitive. Soul-crushing perfectionism — and I say this as a self admitted perfectionist. Slow decision making processes. Trust has no place at MathWorks. No leaps of faith. Long tenure of people means they often lack outside perspective or fresh thinking. A dry, humorless place for the most part, if you’re a manager. Slow career progression.
