Pros

I work in the UK office (in Cambridge). Almost everything is a pro here. The problems are always challenging, and the managers do not push you to deliver, but still they have a good view of the team, thus they know if someone needs some help. The work-life balance is astonishing. 5:30 sharp is possible to go home, none never asked me to stay after business hours (although I admit that I tend to stay late since I love what I do). People are always nice, competent and humble. You can ask everything to everyone and they always try to help. Finally there is a constant push for learning and improving. Book-clubs, trainining, courses and so on. Anyone passionate about math and programming should join us!

Cons

Maybe the only drawback (in my opinion) is the lack of papers that we publish, making MathWors not extremely a research oriented company.

Pros

A lot of young people work here, makes for an energetic workplace. Very laidback environment. Managers are pretty friendly.

Cons

No Work from home policy is Terrible. Software Engineers as opposed to Application Support Engineers should at least be able to work for home.

Pros

MathWorks is sort of a unicorn of the tech industry. The focus is heavily on the engineering side of things and employees, especially the engineering ones are well taken care of! Being a private company allows them to make every effort to build a culture that employees love like their own family. And the products help create a sense of pride among all. One can learn a lot here and should definitely consider as a prospective place to work and grow. - Traditions like Friday cookies and Wednesday breakfast - Sprawling campus with ample space to take stress relieving walks and tune out for a bit - Smart talented co-workers - Quarterly bonuses are an icing on the cake!

Cons

Process heavy nature can some time stifle the application of new ideas. However, that said, management has made efforts to spice things up by way of hack days!
