Pros

Peaceful Area and friendly environs. Smart people who really know their stuff. Free cookies on Friday and free breakfast on Wednesday.

Cons

Managers focus way too much on the so-called company culture and the MW way of doing things. What really matters is not given enough importance. Low salary.

Pros

- Products that make a difference in the world - Bright and challenging co-workers - Financially successful private company with enormous cash reserves. No need to worry about MW going out of business for a long, long time - Nice facilities (campus, FitWorks, cafe) - Generous traditions (yearly Mt Washington family trip, 5-year 'big trips', Wednesday breakfast, cookies) - If your management chain likes you, you can take on lots of responsibility, change processes, and have lots of fun.

Cons

- Review process is tortuous. From January to May, everyone dreads writing their self-review. Mid-level managers have god-awful meetings to mud-wrestle with their peers to rank each member of their team against individuals from other team. It's just false - comparing apples to oranges. And, no one really has adequate knowledge to make these judgments. In reality, senior management identifies which stars to reward and which low-performers to cull out. - Having multiple levels of the stakeholder (profit-sharing) program doesn't pass the sunlight test. - MathWorks has had layoffs. If the economy takes a downturn and you aren't getting high ratings, be prepared to look for a new job.
