Pros

Outstanding organization that truly cares about its people. They care about training and ensure that everyone is treated well with amazing little benefits from fruit in the morning to free Wednesday breakfast. I was blown away by the initial training program where the company founder, Jack Little spends about 3 hours providing each new employee with an overview.

Cons

There is a definite 'MathWorks way', which may not be right for everyone. It is highly detailed and process driven.
