Business Outlook

Pros

- successfully building a new business and market over the long term - big opportunities to contribute in your own area and across other areas as well - management pays attention to data and logic

Cons

- you need patience, persuasiveness and self-confidence to make new things happen - you'll learn your own limitations: if you understand them you'll thrive, but if you ignore or deny them you'll suffer

Overall it has been a great experience. As long as your work is done then you are left to manage your own projects.

Business Outlook

Pros

Quaterly stakeholder bonuses are very generous and the atmosphere surrounding the six month release cycle provides challenges all the time. Other employees are usually wiling to help.

Cons

Diversity at MathWorks is an issue at least in development. I'm not sure if this is because there are not enough U.S. workers who are qualified to work there or if it is an issue with recruiting. It seems most people in development will be foreign born and I see this continuing in the future.
