Pros

Excellent products and technology and great name recognition. Colleagues are generally smart, nice and helpful. Provide extra fun and excitements, since this is a great private company. Good place to work.

Cons

Couple of major products have many sub products, so in-house developing and testing systems are complicated. Learning takes much longer time than other company process.

Pros

MathWorks is full of hard-working, interesting, fun, extremely intelligent people who constantly challenge themselves. The company genuinely cares about its employees; the company's ethics (for example, the way everyone in my group takes the time to say "thank you" at least once a day) and benefits/perks (such as fresh fruit in the morning, and counseling services) reflect an incredible commitment to the well-being of the staff, and to ensuring that they're not only happy in their jobs but happy in their lives. (This is also reflected in the volunteer program and Social Mission, by the way-MathWorks' commitment to community and service was another big indicator for me of how good this company is.)

Cons

Commuting to the Natick campus from Boston can be a bit of a pain, especially if you can't drive and have a long-term injury or surgery. While Boston's MBTA provides reasonable service, they're also strapped for cash, and the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (operating shuttles from MathWorks to MBTA stops) is unreliable, disorganized, and overcrowded. The company has a very strong commitment to on-campus, in-person business, which makes for a great and productive working environment, but it also means that working from home is not an option for extended periods of time, even with a doctor's note.

Pros

On top all the benefits/perks, the people are amazing. Everyone is brilliant and interested in the products. The structure of the company is so flat and flexible, compared to other corporations that I've worked at, that you feel comfortable talking with everyone. The Engineering Development Group is a great way to enter the company/workforce. Everyone in the department is right out of top tier grad schools and it's a pretty close knit group. It's a nice, easy transition from grad school to working (though with shorter hours). The flexibility of the EDG program is wonderful for those just starting out.

Cons

Career growth is limited for those technical people with Bachelor's as credentialism is high
