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.

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
