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 are 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, started in 2017 as well. Projects progress at 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 causing 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 we have to provide it here. The benefits differ a lot between the US ofc and India ofc.

Pros

Strong work-life balance; reasonable hours and low burnout Smart, helpful colleagues and collaborative culture Stable company with solid products (MATLAB/Simulink) Good benefits and campus perks (food, gym, etc.)

Cons

Development pace can feel slow and process-heavy May not be ideal if you’re optimizing for fast career growth, cutting-edge tech, or top-tier compensation.
