      not happy with the company's handling of layoffs

      Pros

      it's a good software company to work with. It's products, namely Matlab and Simulink, hold the leading position in the industry.

      Cons

      In this economic downturn, more and more I feel disappointed of the company's handling of the layoffs it has been carrying out. It's secretive at the best, very sneaky. Employees often get the news of who gets let go by the word of mouth. The company basically refuses to admit any layoff.

      A very comfortable place to spend a couple of years -- but some very strong negatives

      Pros

      The products work. They have great customers. On the whole peers are talented and skilled. Work life balance is impressive. It is one of the few places in Boston where the employer does not demand that you make your work your life. Benefits are quite good. They have freshly baked cookies on Friday afternoons.

      Cons

      The firm is in the midst of a transition between medium to large company. Given the consensus driven, non-confrontational culture, I'm not entirely sure if the tough decisions will be made. Very long term employees in middle management means there is very little exposure to other employment environments, strong not invented here syndrome and rank is not necessarily tied to effectiveness. Premium on consensus and loyalty often means that people are reluctant to make politically incorrect recommendations. Low turn-over in management translates into little upwards mobility for senior staff. Profit sharing program spreads the fruits of one's labour across the firm like peanut butter, everyone gets a taste but no one is really satisfied.
