Inclusion, Engagement, and Community

Culture at MathWorks is more than a set of shared values, behaviors, and practices; it’s the distinct ethos that permeates everything we do.

As we often say, “It’s not just what we do; it’s how we do it.” Our core values are the enduring principles that shape our culture, standing the test of time. By consistently applying these values across all facets of our work, we ensure that the culture established long ago not only thrives but also evolves and grows as the company expands. This approach allows us to maintain our foundational characteristics while embracing new people, ideas, and opportunities.

Empowering Every Voice

Building a workplace of inclusion involves creating spaces where every voice matters. The MathWorks design review process encourages open feedback, allowing everyone to contribute ideas and collaboratively improve project outcomes. We prioritize transparency by openly sharing company financials, strategic plans, successes, and challenges. CEO Jack Little and our leadership teams lead by example, actively engaging with staff as well as welcoming and answering questions honestly. This approach ensures people are heard, ideas are considered, and individuals are respected and supported.

Learning and Growing

Our commitment to inclusion and belonging is centered on the genuine growth of our staff. Learning and self-improvement is a pillar of our Core Values. Our training programs don’t just cover business and technical topics, they also include wellness resources and quality-of-life courses, such as Better Sleep for Parents and Kids and Retirement Planning, to support people through various life stages. Our aim is to ensure everyone has the opportunity to grow and thrive.

Engaging with Our Communities

MathWorks offers donations and matching funds for initiatives in the communities where we operate, as well as disaster relief and other impactful programs. Through our paid volunteer time, staff collaborate with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Black Girls Code in the US, Junior Achievement in Ireland, Katalyst India, and Shepreth Wildlife Park in the UK to make a difference. Additionally, MathWorks provides an annual fund for charitable donations. Staff from each office can nominate organizations, and everyone is encouraged to vote for which ones to support. Together, we strive to make a positive impact in our communities.

Investing in Future Engineers and Scientists

We work to inspire, catalyze, and engage future STEM professionals through a variety of training programs, partnerships with educational institutions and organizations, and community engagement initiatives. We believe that an inclusive future in STEM is essential for innovation and broader society progress. By engaging with our communities and providing support to students throughout their educational journeys, MathWorks aims to bridge the STEM gap and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
