Pros

MathWorks is a nice place to work. People seem very friendly and intelligent. The quality of life is great and a good balance between work and personal life can be easily achieved. There is very little pressure compared to other companies. Overall, it is a great company if you are looking to settle down in life and retire.

Cons

It is not the place for ambitious and young people who are looking for ways to make things happen. Though second line managers are nice, nothing is within their reach when it comes to decision making. The company is extremely resistant to change and this stifles creativity. Always looks for safety and rarely takes a chance to go for the big one.

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.
