Pros

Very comfortable material conditions, generous salaries and bonuses, overall great products, good variety of work.

Cons

Very poor middle management and management practises, what does on behind closed doors is very different from what they claim their values are. Reviews are based on what you manager thinks of you rather than actual accomplishments, and advancement is based on who you're friends with rather than merit. If your manager doesn't like you or you're not friends with the right people, they will quickly strip you of any interesting work, bonuses and it's a downwards spiral until they push you out of the door.

Pros

Fun projects, interesting potential to use software for personal use. Free cookies, breakfasts, and misc other swag. Good nerdy environment, with some potential for growth, in the right career track. Great culture...if you drink the koolaid.

Cons

Management is abysmal. For being a place that "accelerates the pace of science and engineering", the whole place seems stuck in the 80s. Death by committee review is prominent.

Pros

Good work life balance ...

Cons

Other than the well discussed cons of working as an EDG engineer - low salary and non technical sales tasks not worth of new grads with an engineering degree, I was lured into accepting the offer being told that I would get to work with "Machine learning " teams and follow my interests. DO NOT JOIN if you want are interested in pursuing anything ML related at mathworks US. Their ML tech leads are ancient just like their projects and toolboxes. They cannot afford to hire or retain and decent ML talent and there is no one to learn from or lead here. Outdated toolboxes and non technical customers account for terrible EDG projects . The entire EDG program wastes 50 percent of the new grads time in sales work and the high attrition rate in EDG reflects this. Do not join mathworks Natick if you are interested in a ML or Deep learning and in general avoid EDG if you do not want to be pushed into quality and testing work like most of the EDG 'ers.
