Pros

Group of very smart people to work with and people are encouraged to speak out if they see something that should be fixed The secondary benefits are great and the drive to make sure people volunteer their time is fantastic. All kinds of great training are provided in house. Process improvements are seen as important

Cons

It takes a long time to have people value your opinion as you are still seen as new after 2 years. There is no real career growth, the base salary is low and the raises are close to inflation correction. There is no real support for obtaining certifications after training. Because people have been here for years, the development of a "MathWorks" way sometimes blocks real change/improvements Management in some areas of the company are not helping their teams grow and improve in the right way. Leadership lives mostly at the top layers

Pros

I've only been there a few months but this company is a wonderful breath of fresh air coming from the world of public tech companies. The interview process is VERY professional and transparent. They really choose talent carefully. New hire on boarding and training is wonderful. You spend a lot of time in classes but unlike other firms its all relevant. They actually follow the policies they train on! The people are great, very friendly and welcoming. The working environment is fabulous - great buildings, convenient location, very collaborative environment. Benefits like healthcare and retirement are some of the best I've ever seen. And they provide perks NO other company does like the summer outing. The "no WFH" policy some complain about is no where near as draconian as its made out to be in reviews. They just dont want people using recurring scheduled WFH. If you have childcare emergencies or its snowing they are totally flexible. Workload seems reasonable and people dont get pushed to deliver insane hours like other tech giants.

Cons

Starting pay is on the low side for the industry - but this is balanced out by the very convenient location, work life balance and great benefits. Cant comment on career progression yet.

Pros

Work/life balance, benefits (great 401k matching, great facilities), generally good intelligent people. A growing company that is profitable and stable.

Cons

Culture can be a bit insular. Tend to promote from within, but do not always promote the right people for the right reason. Career progression is very slow and limited to management. No real career prospects for non-Development specialists. Slow to make decisions and to learn from others who have done something successfully before.
