Pros

Highly rational workplace that prioritizes data-driven decision-making. Management open and receptive to new and creative ideas if you are prepared to defend your idea. Majority of colleagues are kind, smart, and eager to help each other succeed at the company. Beautiful campus and everyone receives an office. Great for focus work.

Cons

Steep learning curve to learn the "MathWorks way of doing things." The company provides a robust onboarding experience but takes ~3 years to fully get the hang of it. Emphasis on collaboration to approve new programs can create bottlenecks and heavily slow projects down. Long-tenured MathWorks employees can be resistant to change.

Pros

Hybrid Schedule Excellent Co-Workers Many mid level managers genuinely concerned about the welfare of their teams Decent compensation and benefits

Cons

Senior management wants everyone in the office all the time To do any project you have to justify it to the ends of the earth regardless of how much the estimated cost of the project is. Management sacrifices the short (immediate) term needs for the much longer (3-5 years) plan. They ignore the fact that you need to support the existing infrastructure until you get the 3-5 year vision completed. Company values are applied and followed when its convenient. DEI people are not very accepting of opinions that differ from theirs. HR is not there to support the employee, they act as the police force for the corporation.
