Pros

- Fantastic employees: The company has a tough recruitment process, and it shows. Every hire is not just academically brilliant but also a good fit within the collaborative culture. - Relative transparency: For a private company, MathWorks does a great job of sharing information with its employees through quarterly meetings, an annual global kick off, and weekly team meetings. - Investment in individuals: Weekly meetings with managers are mandatory, and annual reviews offer opportunity for peer commentary for unbiased performance measurement.

Cons

- Limited opportunities: Unless some of the "old guard" value your opinion, you are expected to do your 8-5 and head home, without much room for new and challenging work. - Flexibility: In a digital age, a software company that doesn't encourage remote working is both an anomaly and one that could lose its best people to less rigid work hour requirements.
