Pros

The people are MathWorks greatest asset; very smart, involved and just fun to work with. The perks at the company are excellent. Great office space, excellent amenities like gym and workout classes, unlimited beverages, first-rate onsite cafeteria. Work is challenging and engaging. You need to seek out opportunities but they are there. I really enjoy the people I work with which is key to my job satisfaction.

Cons

The culture can vary from one part of the organization to another so choose carefully. Starting salaries can be lower than other places but over time it works out.

Pros

Core values are real, all the way to the top. Work hard and you are rewarded through bonuses and advancement opportunities. Most managers are interested in growing their direct reports. Bonus program is consistent. Product is popular and relevant. Work/life balance is very important.

Cons

Salaries are on the low end compared to their competition. Decision making process can be a bit slow when everyone thinks they are negotiators. Work from home policy.
