Pros

Principled leadership Market-leading products Comfortable work environment Excellent benefits Mutual respect among colleagues Lots of talent If your goals are to have good work/life balance, do interesting work, and be part of a successful company with market leading products, The MathWorks is tough to beat. But if you are looking for more than that, you will be left wanting.

Cons

Consensus-driven approach can sometimes paralyze decision-making. The Company is rigidly inflexible when it comes to working remotely in a misguided effort to maintain the corporate culture. Career development is really lacking; the better one is at his/her job, the longer one can expect to stay in that job. Some long-timers in middle-management are punching the clock.

The values are do the right thing and think long term - hard to get better than that. Work life balance is also quite good.

Cons

Software only, not much hardware. Limited ambition among coworkers.
