Pros

Great people, facilities, food, products. Sales kickoff is spectacular (in Boston for entire company, 4 days and 3 nights, open bar every night, includes dinners, music and games, & every 5 years for big anniversaries they travel to remote location - ex for 30th going to San Diego) Summer outing is a blast, whole Natick location goes to Mt Washington for long weekend on company dollar (includes dinners and open bar)

Cons

-Way below industry average salary. -Quarter "bonus" is non-reflective of hard work put in -No pressure in sales organization to hit #'s -Like a highschool, everyone has a click and if you aren't the popular one (or a good looking female), they pass you over for promotion -Multiple levels of management per person -Reviews are HORRIBLE - present determining of what your rating is, moderate pay % increase but when you make below industry average, then the pay increase % is minimal -Everything is done the MathWorks way - if you can't be someones pet or play the kiss ass game, and if you don't like a "cult-like atmosphere", then this is NOT the place for you
