Pros

I think MathWorks is a great company for those right out of school or if you have been here a long time. If you do not want to be too stressed at work this is the place for you.

Cons

The company rewards longevity over quality of work. If you are used to working hard and getting rewarded for it this is not the place for you. It is difficult to be productive unless you are one of he insiders. Otherwise your 'expertise' is not needed.

Strong work-life balance; reasonable hours and low burnout Smart, helpful colleagues and collaborative culture Stable company with solid products (MATLAB/Simulink) Good benefits and campus perks (food, gym, etc.)

Cons

Development pace can feel slow and process-heavy May not be ideal if you’re optimizing for fast career growth, cutting-edge tech, or top-tier compensation.
