      Pros

      It's a great place to work if you're an engineer, developer or mathematician. You will be treated with respect and rewarded.

      Cons

      It's a terrible place to work if you 're a marketer. The engineers already know all there is to know about marketing.

      Great workplace, nice co-workers, low compensation/growth

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Private offices: collaborate with a co-worker on the whiteboard/computer without interruptions. People are nice, and there are no dirty politics. There's an kitchen operating for lunch everyday, so you never run out of options; food is not free, but cheap. There's a good gym; again, cheap. Work depends on the responsibilities you choose to take.

      Cons

      The software is pretty ad-hoc, and people add their broken knowledge to the mess. Certain processes are inefficient, and cannot be changed. Salary doesn't go up very much, and people depend on their bonuses. There's quite a bit of hierarchy and upper management does not know the ground realities.

      Good place to work if you are lucky and put on the right track

      Pros

      - MathWorks creates some of the best (and in some cases, only) scientific computing tools in the industry, and is very well recognized. - There is an impressive base of engineering grads (an MS is basically required for entry-level positions). - In the large majority of cases, people work well together and there is a cooperative atmosphere. - Honesty is placed in very high esteem, and people try hard to conform to that standard. - Benefits are very good (401k match percentage is almost unheard of in the industry). - EDG/ASE does provide a good opportunity to try out different departments before making a transfer. - If you do a good job and are well-liked, you will move up in the ranks fairly quickly.

      Cons

      - In EDG, if you are given the wrong manager (basically assigned by luck), then your career is doomed. - Too many mandatory meetings and micro-management. In some cases I was asked to write a "plan" for a project that took as long as the actual project itself. - There is a strict culture of doing things "the MathWorks way", even if there are better ways out there. Because of this, it takes forever for new features, and even bug fixes, to make its way into the customer's hands. - Transferring between jobs inside the company is way more difficult than the other companies that I've worked at. - The CS grads tend not to be as talented as engineering grads, yet they are courted more aggressively due to a lack of these types of people. Top-notch engineering grads will come here, whereas top-notch CS grads tend to turn down offers here because they would rather work for Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. - Base salary is very mediocre. My starting salary at my new job was 25% higher.
