Good place to learn, but high profitability creates political weirdness

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Private offices, great tools, many talented colleagues, plenty of opportunities to learn new skills

Quasi-monopoly status of MATLAB makes technical achievement somewhat undervalued/recognized within the company.

Very engineering driven

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very dynamic cross-functional teams. Little to no hierarchy--often meeting with 3 or 4 levels "above". Broad application domains makes the place very interesting. Engineering has a lot of say in product development. Generally a good work-life balance. Company really takes care of its employees with great profit sharing, special events, and perks.

Cons

Needs to emphasize marketing way more in the product development cycle. Team outside of coders often spread very thin across multiple projects lessening their impact. Development takes up the slack. Projects are redirected often.
