About the company

Mathworks

Company overview

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

/ 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.
