      Pros

      This place is the most rational place I've ever worked. There are no penalties for not being perfect, everyone constantly supports you and moves as a whole towards improving process, product and communication. If you disagree with someone on anything (design, plan, process,) you just say so, give rational reasons why and then work out the best way to moving forward with whatever it is. Combine that with management who actually listen and care about the individuals in the trenches and you have a great place, fun and insane loyalty. Seriously...the CEO is respected and almost idolized. The chief scientist has fanboys at conventions! It's terrific!

      Cons

      If you like fast-paced startups that turn on a dime, this place is not for you. Not all the teams are "slow", but being rational means being careful and looking at all the angles before taking steps towards a plan. The belief is that there is one "right thing" for every problem. They try very hard to find it each time. That can make progress seem sluggish.

      Superb software company, the least Dilbert-like I've heard of

      Pros

      The company really values everyone's opinions. They know that developers have technical insights that managers won't, and respect devs' comments appropriately. "Rational workplace" is one of the core values, and is very obvious throughout the company: the reasons for decisions are generally public, and even in the exceptional cases managers will be happy to explain in private. MathWorks has a huge concern for software quality and stamping out bugs, with the attitude that everyone can contribute. Developers can be promoted to management but can stay as senior developers with no management responsibilities if they prefer. Salary increases above inflation every year even during the recession.

      Cons

      The company's not keen on part-time working or working from home. They have a lot of processes and practices, some of which are pretty heavyweight: development philosophy is not very "agile".

      Pros

      Innovative and positive atmosphere. Big emphasis on R&D. Extremely loyal and excited client base , to point of being a MATLAB cult. Successful company, YOY growth since founding. Flexibility and and excellent work life balance. Amazing benefits packages and matching program for 401K. MathWorks invests in its employees for the long term. Tons of internal training opportunities, committed executive leadership team. Cookies on Friday! :)

      Cons

      Not a lot of upward mobility within Sales. No flexibility in pricing and licensing models. MathWorks has a "my way or the highway" approach to negotiation which will likely cause customers to turn to competitors (they may not otherwise even consider) especially across the millennial workforce. Outdated licensing processes that aren't perceived as cutting edge in software industry.
