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

Business Outlook

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.

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.).

Business Outlook

Pros

Non-monetary benefits and perks. Employees are well taken care of.

Cons

The pay is not great. I believe MathWorks is having a tough time thinking of itself as a s/w company w.r.t pay.
