Pros

So many positive things about MathWorks: great benefits, great culture (on the surface), great people to work with, great products, great training.

Cons

For experienced professionals, you may bump into an invisible force field called "the MathWorks way." Strong "not invented here" syndrome and a culture that protects long-time employees--some of whom have never worked elsewhere in their career. If you expect you experience outside MathWorks to have value, plan to be disappointed.

Pros

The healthcare benefits are very competitive. The overall atmosphere is laid back and supportive. The campus is a great working environment with individual offices, decent sized gym,large cafeteria and lots of outside space. In my time there I met very few people that I didn't like. They do a good job hiring intelligent, collaborative and fun people.

Cons

It's a good place to start or end your work life but offers little to those who want any sort of career trajectory, which is unusual given it's size. The working from home policy is antiquated and makes no sense - it's a whim of the owner. The non health care perks are a carry over from the days when it was smaller; most people would take higher salaries over cookies, fruit & free breakfast
