      Pros

      The best and coolest place I've ever worked.Super smart people who will challenge you. Everything you create will be reviewed by others, which is both a plus and a minus. The upside is that you will do better work because of that review. The interview process can be demanding. I am an experienced worker and put 40 hours into prep for the many interviews I had @ MathWorks. Extreme? Maybe, but I knew a great opportunity when I saw one. Being very well prepared for a job interview here is a very good thing. Great culture, great food, a very caring organization to work for. Working here is akin to the culture I've seen when visiting Google. Work pace is very measured. This is not a start-up culture where people drink ten Red Bulls and work till midnight, then trash half of what they did the following day because they were up late grinding stuff out. If you want that manic culture, (which hey, it can be fun), this is not a place for you. MathWorks wants more heat than light if you get my drift. Just come here knowing you'll be asked to do your best- this isn't a good place to coast, it ain't possible.

      Cons

      Not much to complain about. If you saw the benefits, the work /life balance, beautiful offices, etc, you would count your lucky stars, like I do. Seriously. People here complain when the latte machine is broken, boohoo. Those people simply do not remember what the real world is like outside these doors. There's no reason not to work here, unless you would prefer an insane start-up culture.

      Great company, great culture, but not for everyone

      Pros

      - Great product that is well respected within many engineering & academic communities. - Great work/life balance. There are rush to complete the "work" at times, but the pressure is minimal compared to other B2B businesses. - Very stable business model - diversified. Slow growth but very stable. - Admirable company mission and open culture lead by visionary CEO. - Good health/401k benefit. - Excellent HQ facilities and continuously improving year after year. - Great for someone who is interested in laid-back, risk free software development environment.

      Cons

      - The salaries are sub-par compared with other software companies. - Follower of innovation: the company is not a leader in innovation rather a follower of implementing already proven/validated technology trends. - EDG - it can make you or break you. It can be a great training and learning experience for some and waste of time for others with much talent. - Review process (depends on the team): Some team do not value the actual work being complete rather visibility amongst peer is "measured" and used as common benchmark to evaluate one's ability to do one's job. It's like a popularity contest. It's ridiculous. - Poor management (depends on the team): Some upper management lacks in-depth technical knowledge and insight. When a question is asked, often replied back with "What do you think?" without answering the question. When you answer your own question, the manager simply validate you and treat you as if you are stupid for asking the question. Some managers are incapable of leading in-depth technical discussion, at times absolutely lost on directing team's goal, and lacks people management skills. - Slow decision making process. Concept to product takes long chain of decisions and at times, not even completed.
