Pros

MathWorks believes that an environment that challenges, in a positive and constructive way creates a stimulating and rewarding place to work, which in-turn helps us all be more productive. This is the kind of place I like to work. It’s fun to continually look for better ways of doing things, to make you think about the how, the what and the why. MathWorks approach to work, to getting stuff done and creating a fun environment makes me happy!

Cons

While I am a fan of processes we could be leaner in some areas of our business

Pros

Lots of flexibility in job requirements. Over the dozen or so years I have been here, I have pretty much written my own job description. Small side projects became larger projects, become job requirements. I have not had a manager give me 'an assignment' in the last 8-9 years. It is a very self-directed environment. All the creature comforts are here: free drinks, breakfasts, Summer Outings, Anniversary cruises, etc... All the benefits that matter are here: 401k match, insurance plans, profit sharing. Respectable salary Being a worker-bee with no eye towards management, I am quite happy to do the 9-5, and not think about work at all when I am gone.

Cons

There is not a lot of promotions here. That said, I think people come in with weird expectations: It is not high school, you don't get a promotion every year. Realistically, every position I have held here had possibility of being a life long career position. If there are only five levels to each job, and I could be here for 40 years (a real possibility!), exactly how fast do you expect to move through the ranks?

Pros

Excellent products and technology and great name recognition. Colleagues are generally smart, nice and helpful. Provide extra fun and excitements, since this is a great private company. Good place to work.

Cons

Couple of major products have many sub products, so in-house developing and testing systems are complicated. Learning takes much longer time than other company process.
