Pros: Relaxed culture with many excellent colleagues. I made lots of friends and learned many skills during my time there. Excellent managers. At MathWorks, my relationships with my managers were very valuable. At other companies, they have not been. Cool campus. The MA campuses are owned solely by MW and are located outside the city. Personally, this is a huge perk that I dearly miss.

Cons: A rather slow-moving company with very deliberate decision-making.

Pros: - Free cafeteria - Flexible work hybrid schedule (they ask you come in 2 days a week; they don't demand it, pretty flexible in that regard) - Eco-friendly - Beautiful campus - Private offices - Good pay, not amazing, but good - Excellent benefits (except where listed in cons) - Team members are helpful and collaborative - Unlimited sick time (great if you have medical conditions!)

Cons: - You do have to live nearby, since they want you to come in twice a week. Not true remote (but you can work remotely temporarily depending on your situation or if something comes up). - You have to be married to your partner to share the company health insurance; you can't do parents or domestic partners. Only spouses and kids. - Promotions are slow and mainly based on time, rather than true ability. - Onboarding is super overloaded and doesn't cover the most relevant information. Much of it is actually wrong in some cases, but teams are understanding about you not really learning anything during the official trainings/onboarding. - Actual vacation time is meh, not bad, just meh. You do get 3 days of "personal time" though.

Pros: Great work-life balance.

Cons: Not a very aggressive work culture.
