Pros

Very interesting work and supportive atmosphere; many long-tenured employees; strong culture that reinforces the mission of the organization; generous compensation and PTO program; Mathematica is entirely employee owned providing very generous opportunities for retirement; flexibility with workplace and offices in great locations; lots of opportunity for learning new things and taking on research of personal interest.

Cons

You're working among some of the best and brightest in their field...you'd better be able to keep up!

Pros

Every employee, besides secretaries, gets their own office

Cons

1. Worked for this company over 5 years. some of the key points to remember when you work here - discrimination, favoritism - Yes, exists here. During my employment at Mathematica, I have heard Male project directors cracking racial/offensive JOKES and mean words towards female employees -- Making 'STINKY' environment to work. You are NOT judged based on your skill-set, experience, or hard-work - but based on your face-value (what a joke !) 3. Their attitude towards everyone is "you're replaceable", they will spend $1,000 to save $10, they make it impossible to move on within the company. 4. Senior research and management staff often ignore emails from junior staff, and it can be hard to get help when you are stuck on something. 5. Incompetent support staff (accounting, IT, secretaries, etc). Not good enough for the 21st century. Limited professional development opportunities. 6. Lacks cultural diversity. Definitely missing dynamic, and diverse corporate culture. 7. Some staff lack professionalism. Personal relationships often drive business decisions and staff are treated differently based upon their personal relationships. 8. No career-growth or advancement opportunity for most of the staff.
