Pros

Work-life balance. Friendly and professional colleagues. Lots of people with PhDs -- cannot understand why they work to "make Matlab great again" though.

Cons

Matlab is simply a bad product.

Boring tasks. Lack of innovation, lack of any initiative for innovation. Extremely boring and waste-of-time "trainings". Lack of career growth. Low pay -- not even comparable with the market. Slow and sluggish pace, both in development and management.

Advice to Management

Pay your engineers more.

Give them some time to be innovative/explorative. Matlab will not be "greater" with more features.
