Pros

Lots of smart people; people are generally very nice and not pretentious; privately held company invests in itself: people and facilities; great social mission; great health insurance; quarterly profit sharing.

Cons

No work-from-home (except for safety); lots of bureaucracy getting in the way of actual software development; new hires not commensurate with experience but all the same (same vacation allotment, all inside offices); follows its own drum -- the MathWorks way
