MathWorks reviews

Wolf of Wall Street-like fervor and passion (but not misguided ) so I sometimes wonder if I am in a cult.

- Slow moving product that is losing traction to open-source and programming becoming more ubiquitous in science and engineering fields. - Hiring mentality that everyone is replaceable, which leads to lower salaries for tech and a critical mass of mediocre hires who are largely not independent and motivated. - Development mentality to use as little resources as possible to deliver minimum viable product that checks a box. For example, "yes, we do deep learning. Here's *a* solution". - Marketing departments specifically lacking in "doers". People constantly looking to defend old-school standpoints and justify slow development action to avoid doing any significant work. - The praise I have received from management has always been on small one-off projects unrelated to my main job rather than what I consider to be my most significant and rewarding contributions. - Location is in the suburbs, a little ways out of the city.
