Pros

MathWorks is a high-tech company where engineering people are really well considered. Decisions are often made by consensus, not dictated from the top without explanation.

MathWorks serves many high-tech industries and customers, leading to great challenges.

Salary and compensation are good.

Benefits and perks in France are okay.

High-level management is respectful and open-minded.

It's a very open company where employees have access to almost all information; nothing is hidden.

Privately owned, it privileges a long-term vision over short-term stock evolution.

The company invests in its employees and IT.

Cons

There is almost no opportunity to grow here. The company's unofficial policy is to let people stay where they are and gain expertise in their position. So, people willing to grow with more responsibilities, or in other business areas, will not succeed here.

As every decision requires a consensus, it can take a while before a decision is taken, leading to some latency.

The company is not a technical leader; it follows trends rather than creating them.
