Pros: The team at MathWorks made me feel included and valued. They involved me in some really interesting actual problems. Besides having many fun events for the interns, they also provided good hourly compensation.

Cons: Unfortunately, the internship was remote, so I could not meet the team in person.

Pros: Good work and life balance. Good atmosphere.

Cons: Slow work processing. Need patience in personal life.

Pros: Lots of flexibility in job requirements. Over the dozen or so years I have been here, I have pretty much written my own job description. Small side projects became larger projects and then job requirements. I have not had a manager give me 'an assignment' in the last 8-9 years. It is a very self-directed environment. All the creature comforts are here: * Free drinks * Breakfasts * Summer Outings * Anniversary cruises etc... All the benefits that matter are here: * 401k match * Insurance plans * Profit sharing Respectable salary. Being a worker-bee with no eye towards management, I am quite happy to do the 9-5 and not think about work at all when I am gone.

Cons: There are not a lot of promotions here. That said, I think people come in with weird expectations: It is not high school; you do not get a promotion every year. Realistically, every position I have held here had the possibility of being a lifelong career position. If there are only five levels to each job, and I could be here for 40 years (a real possibility!), exactly how fast do you expect to move through the ranks?
