Pros

MathWorks' private ownership allows it to prioritize things which aren't often present in big software companies, like employee satisfaction and concerns. I was worried about finding an employer with priorities I could get behind, and I'm thrilled I did.

Cons

With size comes inertia. MathWorks doesn't have the daily/weekly deploys or releases you'll find at smaller/newer companies, and significant change can involve months of wrangling consensus and gathering approvals.

Too slow

Pros

The company gives a lot of nice perks, free breakfast and cookies, annual weekend outings, random celebration events.

Cons

The company moves so slow letting process get in the way of progress and losing ground to open source. They dominate a few industries, but try and cover too much ground with tew few resources. Company has a very top down approach which slows things down further and prevents any innovation. Even the office chairs need owner approval. Company has almost 5k people and only 1 makes any decisions, simply inneficient. No career growth to be had unless you are a fresh grad. Many people seem to be here for the ease of life, but if you want to challenge yourself and grow look elsewhere. If you want to simply cruise mode your career and are willing to sacrifice growth, this is the place for you.
