      Pros

      Wonderful benefits, competitive salary, smart co-workers, interesting work assignments, lots of training and professional development opportunities, non-hierarchical / non-bureaucratic structure, two-track structure: technical expert or managerial.

      Cons

      Learning the products requires a lot of time, steep learning curve, some co-workers are a bit introverted given the product type, commute from Boston can be long despite being a "reverse commute"

      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".

      Well run company ...

      Pros

      The Mathworks is a very well organized software company. I worked there for over four years. The founder is still very active and cares dearly about the company. The company hires a lot of smart graduates and has a very methodical approach of ramping up these newly hired employees to get them ready to join other parts of the company. All in all, a very well run company. The company pays special attention to training their employees not only on technical matters but also on non-technical matters such as negotiation skills and presentation skills.

      Cons

      There is some level of complacency because of the lack of a strong competition. Required improvements or features are not put into a product as fast as it could be. Back when I was working at The MathWorks, there was a lot of conflict within a portion of development team, but there did not seem to be a swift action in addressing the conflicts.
