Pros: Very friendly people, amazing food at a very cheap rate, beautiful offices.

Cons: Natick is not a very happening place, so you won't have a lot to do outside of work. Boston is 30 minutes from the train, but that's still not very convenient.

Pros: Great work-life balance. Great company with great core values and culture. Respectful and collaborative environment. Personal office space for all. As you spend more time in the company, your tenure is personally valued and appreciated, so your benefits grow. Great company to stay for a long period of time and retire from. Fair review process with self-evaluation and peer evaluations along with your manager's evaluation. Your ratings translate fairly to salary increments. Perks: * Company summer outing to the best mountain resorts in NH for 2 nights * Cookies, free treats, and Wednesday breakfasts * Quarterly bonus * Unlimited sick time * 8 hours social work time * 3 weeks vacation * Personal office room * Great 401k and health benefits * 40 hours of training a year * Awesome gym with many group classes, etc. I joined MathWorks straight from college upon graduation with a Masters, and it was my best decision. This company groomed and prepared me for work life in the initial 2 years of my job as an ASE in EDG. This program allows you to try out different roles and responsibilities like technical assistance to customers, taking up QE projects, software development projects, technical marketing projects, EDG team leadership, EDG process improvement, interviewing new candidates, knowledge sharing presentations, and mentoring new hires. These are the things I got to do over my 2-year span in EDG, which has helped me immensely in my current role as a Software Developer. You feel valued and appreciated in this company for your contributions. The company founder and owner, Jack, personally calls to congratulate you on your 5th-year anniversary at the company! :)

Cons: Very process-oriented company; it might fluster one who is not used to the detailed analysis, documentation, and reviews before implementation. Would be much appreciated by research-oriented individuals. Only 3 days work from home and more on request. Works for me as the company has worked hard to provide us the best environments to work in, with personal office spaces, great food, and other services. Salary might be a tad bit low compared to some other contemporaries.

Pros: Great work-life balance, supporting team members, and a knowledgeable manager.

Cons: Free snacks would be nice :)
