Pros

MathWorks is a challenging, highly technical environment. If you want to stretch your engineering knowledge, it's a great place to work. The people are also great - collaborative, smart, fun and hard working. They provide everyone with an office, so when you need to think quietly, you can. But balance with discussion areas where teams can come together and brainstorm, or just have some fun.

Cons

It's gotten big, so you have to work hard to stand out. MathWorks has a strong culture and it's not for everyone - several find that they just don't fit.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
