Pros

Breakfast is free..you can get that in some other places as well ;)

Cons

Core Values(real skills): - Continuous Improvement and the Pursuit of Excellence : Kill anyone who believes in this before.Use design reviews as a forum to undermine creativity. Question intent and attack personality. - Respect and Invest: Respect yourself only and make sure new comers dont know about internal trainings. - Rational Workplace Kill anyone who demands rationalization with "MathWorks way" or even "Jack's way". - Learning and Self-Improvement Make sure your finacial self improoves. Poor sales guys and developers are supposed to work for our imporvemwent ;). - Credibility and Integrity: Make credibility by managing perception. Make sure your boss is happy with few peers talking good about you. Results don't matter. Anything screwed up can always be defended. Integrity: Its purposely kept as last value.This implies if for achieving other values if integrity is lost not an issue.

Pros

Lots of flexibility in job requirements. Over the dozen or so years I have been here, I have pretty much written my own job description. Small side projects became larger projects, become job requirements. I have not had a manager give me 'an assignment' in the last 8-9 years. It is a very self-directed environment. All the creature comforts are here: free drinks, breakfasts, Summer Outings, Anniversary cruises, etc... All the benefits that matter are here: 401k match, insurance plans, profit sharing. Respectable salary Being a worker-bee with no eye towards management, I am quite happy to do the 9-5, and not think about work at all when I am gone.

Cons

There is not a lot of promotions here. That said, I think people come in with weird expectations: It is not high school, you don't get a promotion every year. Realistically, every position I have held here had possibility of being a life long career position. If there are only five levels to each job, and I could be here for 40 years (a real possibility!), exactly how fast do you expect to move through the ranks?

Pros

Good management, good company, core values, mission. AE job allows technical people to learn about business communication and business.

Cons

People don't leave, and management doesn't shake things up, so there can be alot of 'dead-wood' as you get further up in the hierarchy.
