Pros

Stability. Stability. Stability. Stability. Stability. Stability.Good place to find a niche.

Cons

The MathWorks is a very quirky environment. Certainly not a place to be a visionary and think you can change the world. The need for buy-in from all stakeholders and the need to over-analyze processes creates hurdles. Did I mention quirky?

Pros

This is a company committed to long term goals and organic growth, and not seeking short term profit. It has a very nice friendly atmosphere where your personal growth is strongly encouraged. Offers good benefits and treat employees with respect.

Cons

It is a bit like a club - either you are in or out. During 25 years of organic growth, the company has developed a very unique consensus-oriented culture and decision making process is very complex and slow. Some people couldn't make this adjustment.

Overall Great Company

Pros

Benefits are unlike anything I've seen from previous jobs (free food, trips to Boston, FL, and NH fairly often), the 401k match is great, having regularly scheduled bonuses is great, very strong work/life balance, WFH policy is fair, everyone feels like regular people (I say hi in the hallway to top executives/the CEO almost weekly and it's like talking to a friend)

Cons

I could probably make more if I went somewhere else, but I likely wouldn't get the benefits I do here. Moving up or even sideways can be a very slow process. If the CEO ever steps down, I worry the culture will crumble
