Well, I’m in the enviable position of being the only working parent in our family, so these issues don’t come up for us.

That said, The MathWorks is a very flexible workplace which makes it easier on working parents. Contact me offline (jay.zipursky@gmail.com) and we can chat.

Jay

I'm applying for an engineering position at The Mathworks and was wondering how you've found working there as a parent. I have a 3 year old boy. Currently, I develop mirror polishing algorithms (in Matlab) for this telescope: http://www.eso.org/public/astronomy/projects/e-elt.html which is fantastic, but it means my son and I live 700 miles away from my husband which is rough on family life. So, how have you found it? Thanks! Hi - I found your blog by Googling “Mathworks” and “daycare.”

For now anyway - almost a year ago I finally broke down and got a cell phone, so I suppose you just never know what I'm going to do... ;) That is a great story, but I am holding fast to my anti-twitter sentiment.

There is something cool and promising here about online social networking in a professional sense becoming very useful, rather than lots of <i>LOL!</i> and <i>BFF!</i> and endless smiley crap.

Reminds me of that old saw that when looking for a job, you need to tell EVERYONE you meet that you are looking for a job...and isn't the theory about "The Strength of Weak Ties?" Perfect example! Fantastic!
