Pros

Working at MathWorks feels like an extension of grad school. The work atmosphere is laid back, hours are flexible, the engineering work force come from a variety of interesting backgrounds. Management tends to be very rational and respectful, and many managers are open to new ideas if you can make the business case. Salaries are comparatively low, but it's all about the side perks. Great products that I am proud of selling/supporting.

Cons

Telecommuting policy or 0-3 days reinforced recently -- many days there is no reason to go to campus, but now it is required. Too many homegrown and cobbled-together tools for day-to-day use at work.

Pros

There is great work life balance. The policies and decisions are transparent and conveyed well to the employees. They make an interesting product.

Cons

I think the salary is not very high. I do not have any other cons associated it. Maybe they are not very aggressive if some people consider that a con.

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.
