Pros

Decent Benefits, Nice Location on Rte 9

Cons

Usless Upper Management Staring at VP Levels. Most have been there sinse the 90's and adhere to " Cover My Back and I will Cover Your's. Most Sr VP's came from a Suprvisor Background and feel constantly Challenged by New Employees who are Creative & Experienced.

Pros

Respect for employees and openness. Good pay package. Thinking ahead

Cons

The company is growing fast, and whatever worked when it was smaller is coming under pressure because of the size. Because the company has never been in a downturn it has never seen any reorganization. Therefore, some of the senior management that have organically grown into their positions are not really up to the job.

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.
