Pros

MathWorks corporate culture is very strong. It's a reasonable work week, no unrealistic expectations. Strong senior level management which has demonstrated consistent growth and financial responsibility. Very interesting technology that literally pushes advances in science and engineering. Outstanding benefits. Very open and transparent culture with not a lot of politics.

Cons

The company has a very conservative approach to compensation and with professional development (promotion). Outdated ideas of remote work and emphasis on employee commutes.

Pros

Personal offices, good benefits, and heavy investment in infrastructure and developer tools

Cons

My biggest complaints are: - Annual salary boosts aren't that great. I meet new hires with less experience earning more than me. - The organizational maturity is really tough to measure here. It is most immediately evident in the products themselves: an automatic update model is finally being rolled out in 2018, and the company still seems to bend over backwards to release patches for specific $$$ customers. Looking deeper, one notices that a proper issue tracking system (in this case, Jira) was only adopted in 2018 (and the adoption feels...slipshod). Somehow, my experience at my previous job with a much smaller and younger company felt significantly better organized. Of course, if you were to ask the project management teams, you would probably hear a completely different story.
