Pros

Core platforms (MATLAB and Simulink) are world class Very intelligent co-workers.

Cons

Highly political culture Internal processes were developed to support slow moving industries like Aerospace/Defense and Automotive. The company isn't nimble enough to deal with rapid change. The company is inbred. The mid to senior level managers have been with the company forever and don't have the skills or perspective necessary to manage a billion dollar software concern. The company isn't good at assimilating outside talent.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
