Pros

I think MathWorks is a great company for those right out of school or if you have been here a long time. If you do not want to be too stressed at work this is the place for you.

Cons

The company rewards longevity over quality of work. If you are used to working hard and getting rewarded for it this is not the place for you. It is difficult to be productive unless you are one of he insiders. Otherwise your 'expertise' is not needed.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
