Pros

Stable company, great perks and excellent work-life balance. A lot of really smart people with diverse interests. Very friendly environment.

Cons

Not much gets done in this organization. Everything requires 20 meetings and 30 follow-ups and 40 post-mortem reviews. I am impressed at how smart people get into this rut of putting process over results. My suspicion is that MathWorks is now such a big company that it is hard to know the where the money comes from. As a result, it is impossible to correlate action to results.

Pros

Fun projects, interesting potential to use software for personal use. Free cookies, breakfasts, and misc other swag. Good nerdy environment, with some potential for growth, in the right career track. Great culture...if you drink the koolaid.

Cons

Management is abysmal. For being a place that "accelerates the pace of science and engineering", the whole place seems stuck in the 80s. Death by committee review is prominent.

not a bad place to work good people over all. There is a lot that can be improved but I do think that they have good products.

Cons

Lots of internal Polotics and power struggle. Need to chill out and enjoy the business again. Can be a great place just needs some movment.
