It is important to most of us that we enjoy our work but difficult to know when you’re looking for a job whether we’ll be happier working for one employer versus another. A great way to know if an employer offers a great place to work is to ask the people who know the organizations best — their employees. For the past six years, Glassdoor has awarded its Employees’ Choice Awards to honor the 50 best places to work.  For 2014, the 22nd best place to work was MathWorks.

As an American private corporation, MathWorks is known for providing software for mathematical computation.  MATLAB and Simulink are two of the company’s biggest products, which are related to programming language.  Tools from the company are not just applied in industry and government, but are also featured in teaching and research at higher learning institutions globally.  Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, MathWorks has around 2,800 employees around the world; 70% of them reside in Natick.
