Ventajas
MathWorks is a company where the Values statement really guides the day to day operations. There are no "bulldozer" personalities or deference to the highest paid person in the room. Everyone is expected to be civil and have logical reasons for their positions. There is strong commitment to you as a person and creating work/life balance. Privately held, with strong commitment to the well being of all employees. If you have ever worked at a large, dysfunctional company then MathWorks is a breath of fresh air that you will appreciate. Diverse and inclusive workplace. Showcase for how a CEO can create a great culture by example.
Desventajas
Sometimes being inclusive and considerate means there are a LOT of people cc'ed on emails. Developing consensus is encouraged, but can take time. A considered approach can create longer cycle times for products. Over 150 products, so the systems and messaging can get confusing.
