Outstanding, but process heavy company

Business Outlook

Pros

Wicked smart people Stable Personal offices, with good equipment Nice campus, good expected company growth. Ability to weather tough economic storms. Advanced use of programming languages to solve difficult problems Good atmosphere Flexible with core hours Great coworkers, some of the brightest around, and very polite/respectful.

Cons

To ensure quality, getting code into the final product is a long and painful process. This leads to great, quality, low-bug products, but slows down programmers. It's a necessary pain for the end result, just be aware that slow downs in development exist and can't be avoided. Telecommuting policy is lagging behind where modern software companies tend to be.

Great for engineers!

Pros

The work environment is great at MathWorks for engineering. I've read other reviews that say you have to "drink the kool-aid" in order to succeed. To them I would say, "oh lighten up". If you are a good engineer and you are excited to solve cool problems and can work well with other people, then MathWorks is a great place to work. If you are a cynical uber-nerd with a chip on your shoulder and you constantly roll your eyes every time you hear the phrase "core values", then no, MathWorks is not a good fit for you (nor will any other company be, you will find). The salary is not the best, but it's probably in the top half of comparable companies. The perks are great. The owner (it's a private company) is super generous. Plus it's MATLAB! It's cool to be a part of that.

Cons

Your mileage will vary based on who your manager is. I'm in a great group, but I know there are other managers who are not as good (I worked for a couple).
