Great work culture, not amazing compensation

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work culture is great, no weekend work, no work expected after office hours.

Cons

The compensation is good but not amazing. The technical learning opportunities are not too good and things like technical book clubs for improving our knowledge were frowned upon as time-waster.

Offers a Stable Job. Doesn't Innovate.

Business Outlook

Pros

I was hired straight out of university and did technical support for 1.5 years. Made some lifelong friends and gained a breadth of knowledge in practical mathematics/analysis. Next 4.5 years was spent with a math-centric software team. I would recommend MathWorks for either starting a career in numerical computing or supporting a family. It is very difficult to move up or down the corporate ladder. You learn 95% of everything you'll ever need to know in the first 2-3 years.

Cons

While a job at MathWorks work is very stable, it comes at the price of long-term stagnation. Understand that MathWorks is a private company and has been run by the same person for 40 years. Most managers have been with the company for 15+ years and there is an emphasis on the "slow and steady" mantra. Both salary increase and career advancement are slow. After 6 years, I left as a junior developer -- the same position as when I started.
