Pros

MathWorks is a well-oiled machine. They have great on-boarding programs that introduce you to the culture and set you up to succeed in your position. They are a very staff-oriented company and every department seems to be relaxed - even sales.

Cons

Growing your salary can be difficult, especially for a non-technical employee.

Business Outlook

Pros

MathWorks is a great place to work. It's a collaborative environment with bright people. MATLAB & Simulink are great products that really 'make a difference' in the world and have a very broad range of applications in science, engineering, and finance. There are plenty of opportunities to learn and develop, both formally and informally. It's a very stable company that has been profitable since its inception and is growing as fast as it can hire good people! The CEO is a role model for learning and self-improvement; he has personally grown the company from 2 people to over 2500.

Cons

MathWorks don't lead the way in encouraging flexible work options e.g. home-working, part-time working.
