A great place to build a career from ground up

Pros

MathWorks is sort of a unicorn of the tech industry. The focus is heavily on the engineering side of things and employees, especially the engineering ones are well taken care of! Being a private company allows them to make every effort to build a culture that employees love like their own family. And the products help create a sense of pride among all. One can learn a lot here and should definitely consider as a prospective place to work and grow. - Traditions like Friday cookies and Wednesday breakfast - Sprawling campus with ample space to take stress relieving walks and tune out for a bit - Smart talented co-workers - Quarterly bonuses are an icing on the cake!

Cons

Process heavy nature can some time stifle the application of new ideas. However, that said, management has made efforts to spice things up by way of hack days!

Pros

Lots of smart people to learn from Products used in the real world that make a difference for a lot of people Nice facilities Private company not beholden to a board of directors or stock price Good work life balance Nice company culture and tradition

Cons

Location can be kind of tricky, depending on where you are commuting from. In parts of the product, its age is starting to show. When I was there Simulink and MATLAB were launched as the same process. Depending on the component you work on, enormous amounts of code made building and testing cumbersome. Their continuous integration/source control management system is a set of perl scripts layered on top of CVS and is really arcane. (They were moving to Perforce when I was there.) There are multiple sets of tools for managing code submissions, developed by different teams. To be fair, they are aware of these technical problems and were actively working to address them and achieve better componentization of the source code. But it seemed at the time like a huge mountain to climb. When I was there, their policy about working from home was pretty strict (only three days per year?).
