Pros: Good management, good company, core values, mission. An AE job allows technical people to learn about business communication and business.

Cons: People don't leave, and management doesn't shake things up, so there can be a lot of 'dead-wood' as you get further up in the hierarchy.

Pros: Breakfast is free. You can get that in some other places as well.

Cons: Core Values (real skills): * Continuous Improvement and the Pursuit of Excellence: Kill anyone who believes in this. Use design reviews as a forum to undermine creativity. Question intent and attack personality. * Respect and Invest: Respect yourself only and make sure newcomers don't know about internal trainings. * Rational Workplace: Kill anyone who demands rationalization with "MathWorks way" or even "Jack's way". * Learning and Self-Improvement: Make sure your financial self improves. Poor sales guys and developers are supposed to work for our improvement ;). * Credibility and Integrity: Make credibility by managing perception. Make sure your boss is happy with few peers talking good about you. Results don't matter. Anything screwed up can always be defended. Integrity: It's purposely kept as the last value. This implies that if integrity is lost for achieving other values, it's not an issue.

Pros: Great work-life balance. Amazing perks (breakfast + lunch). Gym membership.

Cons: Lower salary. Not comparable with the market. Very slow to adapt. Snowy.
