Retirement home for people with any initiative - Product Manager MathWorks Employee Review

Work is challenging, mostly because of how process-heavy everything is. Nothing is simple. You have an idea you want to pursue? Follow up with 10-12 meetings with committee after committee. You do something new? you may get your hand slapped. Everything feels set in stone. Pay is mediocre at best. 66% percentile is the goal. Stingy is the rule: Everyone gets a Lenovo Thinkpad. Want a Mac? buy one out of your own pocket. Lots of people punching a clock and doing 9-5, waiting for retirement. Despite products that have potential, marketing is stuck is aging leadership. Leadership overall is a cadre of 20+ year lifers who block any upward mobility. The job you get can likely be the job you keep for years. No room for growth.
