Rigidity, lack of respect - Avaliação de funcionários no cargo de Funcionário(a) sigiloso(a) na empresa MathWorks

A horrific corporate culture. Any risk taking (i.e., creativity) is frowned upon. Upper management has been the same for 20 years and many vps are over in way over their heads. They hide important information from the prez, and some sad decisions result. The worst part of this place is that upper management knows everything, and you, the new employee, are to be "trained" (think of a Maoist reeducation camp). There is a profound lack of respect and trust in the average MathWorker. Career development is nonexistent. If you ask for training, you'll likely be told to read a book. Since upper management has been the same for 2 decades, there's very little upward mobility. There's an inner circle of "jack's friends," and then there are the rest of us. The Mathworks spews a lot of cant about values and respect, but it's all part of some cult-like illusion. Hypocracy is rife. But, the place is very profitable. Like the line says, though, money doesn't talk, it swears. So, why change when you're making a ton of money? Only if you think people matter, and the Mathworks doesn't.
