Strong performers should weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Software engineer

CEO approval

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

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.
