About the company
MathWorks is a privately held software company best known for MATLAB and Simulink, tools used for technical computing, data analysis, simulation, and model-based design. MathWorks also develops 130+ additional products that support areas like signal and image processing, control systems, robotics, and deep learning. The company sells to engineers and scientists across industries including automotive, aerospace, energy, medical devices, communications, and electronics. MathWorks is headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, and states the company has been profitable every year since founding.
Locations and presence
MathWorks says the company employs over 6,500 people across 34 offices worldwide, with hubs across the US, UK (including Cambridge), and India (including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, New Delhi, and Pune). Early-career roles like EDG are commonly anchored to specific office locations (for example Natick in the US), with role-by-role expectations set in the posting.
Palpable Score
73.0
/ 100
MathWorks is a high-confidence option for graduates who want a clear first step, because MathWorks runs EDG as a named early-careers pathway with internships and full-time roles, and MathWorks explains hiring stages and interview expectations in unusual detail. Learning support is also unusually concrete for a private software company, including mentoring, coaching, and a stated training target (40 hours per year). The main limitation is outcomes visibility beyond “EDG leads to internal transfers”: MathWorks does not publish early-career promotion timelines, conversion rates, or retention by cohort, and employee feedback often points to slower progression.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.7
/ 20
  • The company runs the Engineering Development Group (EDG) as a defined early-careers pathway that offers both internships and full-time roles for people coming out of school.
  • MathWorks advertises “Multiple Openings” EDG roles (for example in the US and UK), which signals recurring entry-level hiring rather than one-off graduate posts.
  • The company does not publish public intake numbers, cohort sizes, or acceptance rates for EDG or internships, which limits confidence on volume.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

15.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes a step-by-step hiring flow for EDG full-time and internships, including a code challenge, recorded video questions, and a multi-hour virtual interview block (about 4 hours) for later stages.
  • MathWorks publishes an EDG interview-prep page that lists what interviewers assess (problem-solving, technical skills, software development, and communication) and names example topic areas candidates can revise.
  • The company includes equal-opportunity language and a reasonable-accommodation contact on at least some job ads, but candidate-reported experiences still vary by role and team.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

16.3
/ 20
  • The company’s US benefits and development materials state a concrete learning expectation of at least 40 hours of training per year, supported by options like in-house seminars, conferences, and tuition assistance.
  • MathWorks describes EDG on-the-job training as including mentoring, technical coaching, and leadership development, with flexibility to explore different teams.
  • The company’s EDG job postings describe “extensive training, mentoring, and coaching” tied to a clear outcome: moving into teams aligned to skills and interests after building product and customer workflow knowledge.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.7
/ 20
  • The company publishes unusually specific benefits details for US employees, including a 401(k) match (50% of the first 6%, with historic additional matching noted) and a quarterly bonus plan that the company says has paid out every quarter since 1993.
  • MathWorks includes a “Salary Range” section on at least some US job postings and explains compensation is based on skills, experience, and qualifications, but the company does not provide consistent, easy-to-compare ranges across all early-career listings.
  • The company has substantial third-party pay data for EDG and intern roles, which helps candidates benchmark offers, but this is still not the same as employer-published ranges by level and location.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.3
/ 20
  • The company’s EDG materials link early-career roles to internal mobility, including a published statement that EDG training and coaching supports transitions into longer-term teams aligned to skillset and interests.
  • MathWorks publishes internship content where an intern reports receiving a full-time offer after the internship, which is a concrete conversion signal even though it is anecdotal.
  • The company has recent employee feedback that describes strong stability alongside slower compensation and career growth, and MathWorks does not publish early-career outcome metrics like internship-to-offer rate, median time-to-promotion, or retention by cohort.
