      Pros

      Good pay, private company with quarterly bonuses based on revenue and performance. Delivery of software products for engineering and science applications. Strong penetration in the market and in University curriculum.

      Cons

      Completely development centric. No real authority as a Manager, but for managing individual contributors. Company focus on Quality, but this does not translate to better quality. Some senior managers are "untouchable" so things don't necessarily improve. Performance ratings not really set by managers; VPs can override. Managers have little say. Hard to get things done as a manager due to lots of politics. Many quality initiatives, but few have significant impact due to lack of adoption by teams that choose not to adopt quality initiatives. Flat QA organization: younger managers with 5 years of experience are at the same job level as those with 25+ years.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Balanced work environment with plenty of very capable people who are smart and passionate about MathWorks products and services. Campus gets better every year. For those who earn the right, there is plenty of limited autonomy. There are many other places to work, but few are as stable or secure. Wonderful suite of benefits and bonuses.

      Cons

      Insanely complex and painful review process that wastes enormous amounts of time that unfortunately has a minimal return on investment. There are significant limits on management's decision making authority as almost everything involves over-engineered processes and approvals.

      Pros

      Great pay for the Boston area. Great software processes that lends itself to very high quality. Amazing in-house build system that automatically builds your code across many different platforms. Outstanding release management system and team. Excellent automated test framework that distributes testing across the company servers. Super-star engineers throughout the company. Great culture. Good chance of getting your own office. Insanely amazing benefits, including 100% up to 6% 401k match! Great bonus program. Good vacations.

      Cons

      Private company, so no stocks. Health insurance co-pay could be lower. Extremely limited tele-commuting policy. Can feel bureaucratic at times. Traditionally hired only engineers and only recently started hiring computer science grads, which means that some of the older code is not coded up as well as it could have.
