Pros
The MathWorks is a very comfortable place to work. The products are not generally the best in terms of usability or quality but the sheer number of users makes the job worthwhile. It is a fun environment for the most part with many interesting people.
Cons
Career opportunities are not great. There are two tracks within software development - technical and managerial. Progression along both tracks is essentially seniority based despite the performance review process. The company is growing at a good pace so promotions generally seem to occur as your team grows. Compensation is generally based on years experience and may not reflect your contribution.
