Pros

MathWorks is a world-renowned company making the best tools possible. Highly technical and smart people. My major kudos to: - Quarterly (profit sharing) bonuses helps significantly with the base salary. - Free breakfast/cookies/drinks. - Nice gestures of appreciation (i.e. Ice cream day, annual MW weekend in NH). - Extremely solid company expanding for future growth and reinvesting; job is well-secured. - Nice, collaborative environment, friendly workers all around campus.

Cons

My major gripes: - Too much micro-management, not enough trust. Can't get my work done independently and move on without being constantly bothered by another meeting, a process or workflow change, or the status of something. - Lower than average base salary for doing a hell of a job. - Not enough opportunities for in-house training or courses (unless it's MATLAB or coding related). - Performance reviews are long and drawn out for a small salary increase. - People need to learn to do their homework before escalating the easiest problems that can be fixed by the power of Google, even if you're not tech-savvy.

Pros

MathWorks is a nice place to work. People seem very friendly and intelligent. The quality of life is great and a good balance between work and personal life can be easily achieved. There is very little pressure compared to other companies. Overall, it is a great company if you are looking to settle down in life and retire.

Cons

It is not the place for ambitious and young people who are looking for ways to make things happen. Though second line managers are nice, nothing is within their reach when it comes to decision making. The company is extremely resistant to change and this stifles creativity. Always looks for safety and rarely takes a chance to go for the big one.
