      A very comfortable place to work with less than outstanding career opportunities for young stars.

      Pros

      The MathWorks is a very comfortable place to work. The products are not generally the best in terms of usability or quality but the sheer number of users makes the job worthwhile. It is a fun environment for the most part with many interesting people.

      Cons

      Career opportunities are not great. There are two tracks within software development - technical and managerial. Progression along both tracks is essentially seniority based despite the performance review process. The company is growing at a good pace so promotions generally seem to occur as your team grows. Compensation is generally based on years experience and may not reflect your contribution.

      Strong performers should weigh the pros and cons carefully.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stability. Nice/decent people. Engineering that gets the job done, more or less. A comfortable work environment. Low stress levels, flexible scheduling, good benefits. Products that make the world a better place. A strong business position at the company level.

      Cons

      Slow career growth. Weak correlation between performance and compensation. Amateurish/untrained software skills are common. Highly variable competence in middle management. A good number of folks have positions of responsibility because of seniority rather than merit. Engineering that is often ugly and uninspired (Boot up Matlab. Enough said.).

      Pros

      - Work life balance - Opportunity to work on latest technology, although it depends on team - Learning opportunities and tools - free food

      Cons

      - Middle and high management could be more capable in certain departments - Team's morale depends on the managers capability and his/her ability to support the team
