Number discovery: Given a number (e.g., 157), you can find a number where the sum of its digits equals the original number plus the sum of its own digits. For example, 144 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 153. Thus, 144 is a "number of 153." Find all possible numbers given an N.

Great culture, brilliant people
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
November 27, 2020
Pros: MathWorks, as an idea and culture, is fantastic. People really believe in the mission statement: "to accelerate the progress of science and engineering." People have a lot of respect for one another, for our customers, and for math, science, and engineering.
90% of the workers are focused on the team and are wonderful coworkers who are conscientious and give generously of their time to help ramp up new workers.
The company is very stable.
Cons: Not everyone is eager to share knowledge. There are enough who are and are great mentors so that you can grow--but still, it seems that some of the more curmudgeonly employees could use a reminder of the core values.

Okay for a starter job
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
February 17, 2023
Pros: Culture is relatively laid back in most groups. Nice office and perks. Outside of Boston, so you are against rush hour traffic. New hybrid culture is good. Company trips and meetings are good.
Cons: Culture has degraded over the years. Hiring has been questionable at times. Opportunities for growth are limited. Pay is really low compared to competitors. No stock and bonuses. Management is poor; direction is lacking a lot of times.
Biggest Con: Non-standard industry tools/skills are non-transferrable.
