Pros: There is some interesting technical work being done at Mathworks. For low-level engineers, I think the culture is quite good: many options of teams to work on, good work/life balance, and low stress.

Cons: Pre-pandemic, there was no WFH policy. This may have changed since then. While there are many technical workers from diverse backgrounds, unfortunately, there is an overwhelming majority of white men in management positions within the technical side of the organization. Pay for technical work was average. A lot of the technical work is actually not very cutting-edge or interesting (IMHO). There's quite a bit of legacy code wrangling that needs to be done, and many new additions to the product are adopting newly published algorithms from academia, etc.

Pros: Work-life balance at MathWorks

Cons: None that I can think of

Pros: There is free food, work-life balance, and the people are generally very nice.

Cons: The Natick location is not ideal for commuting.
