Pros

You are impacting a very popular tool that millions of users around the world use. They provide great facilites (gym, cafeteria, etc.), and they provide an array of self improvement course and workshops.

Cons

MATLAB and Simulink are very old-style products and the technologies behind them are a bit antiquated (Thought they are moving slowly to the cloud). The team that I worked with wasn't agile, although it was initially presented as such.

Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
