Pros
Quick promotion, great work life balance, good mission and values, interesting project work, intelligent colleagues
Cons
I get the sense my experience here isn’t the same as others. If you preform beyond expectations and have coworkers who advocate for you, you’ll be off cycle or on cycle promoted rather quickly (i was off cycle promoted at exactly a year of being here…). If you are good at your job, you’ll consistently get good merit increases. The truth is that the current administration hurt our portfolio of work, it’ll take time to rebuild and a lot of that is out of the companies hands (others in the industry experienced the EXACT same thing). CEO has put immense pressure on AI, it is genuinely all he talks about, which is annoying but I also understand why.. we need to be competitive in this market. Coworkers need to understand that the business is changing, and Mathematica is just trying to keep up and evolve. I feel they are as transparent as they can be.
