Pros

MathWorks' product is well established and the company has really good financial performance. Great people around. The product development process is rigorous. As a developer, you need to have formal, written definition the requirements and it got to go through internal reviews before you can start writing a single line of code. Good documentations support. It's a great place to learn Software Development. It seems to be *very* stable in MathWorks. People around stays for 10 years or more!

Cons

Standard big company, lots of meetings to attend, even it's not relevant to you. I have worked in the UK office, and a large portion of your time is spent on making phone calls with people in MathWorks US office, trying to explaining what your code means. Or the other way round, when you have problems using others' code. People stays there for long, that means it's hard to have a change there. My manager there has been a developer for 9 years before transferring to his management role. Another QA guy hsa been there for 5 years. These are actually young guys in the office. There are ones who have worked for MathWorks for 20 years.

Pros

Working at MathWorks feels like an extension of grad school. The work atmosphere is laid back, hours are flexible, the engineering work force come from a variety of interesting backgrounds. Management tends to be very rational and respectful, and many managers are open to new ideas if you can make the business case. Salaries are comparatively low, but it's all about the side perks. Great products that I am proud of selling/supporting.

Cons

Telecommuting policy or 0-3 days reinforced recently -- many days there is no reason to go to campus, but now it is required. Too many homegrown and cobbled-together tools for day-to-day use at work.
