Pros

Company encourages creativity- teams are willing to listen to opinions/suggestions Great benefits Team working environment Bonuses are high

Cons

When we are in busy times, you have to make sure you speak up otherwise you will get lost in the mix Sometimes it seems that if an idea isn't the MathWorks way, it just isn't an option No work from home option, which can be a down-fall/hassle

Business Outlook

Pros

No Dress Code. Flexible Hours. Majority of staff is very friendly. No hierarchy feeling. Everyone is approachable.

Cons

No Telecommuting. Lots of Meetings. Smaller salaries compared to other competitors. Not enough trust in employees to promote them. Tend to hire from the outside to fill roles that could easily be done by current employees that have worked hard and understand the company's structure, values, models.

Business Outlook

Pros

Products accelerate engineering and science, contributing to the altruistic cultural feel. Everyone has their own office and the campus is comfortable. Casual dress. Culture fit is very important in hiring, so collaboration has remained a key element in day-to-day interactions.

Cons

MathWorks will evaluate all steps before taking them. This may frustrate those who want to use the latest/greatest tech or tool immediately - but this evaluation also means that poor technology investments are rare.
