Pros

You can sit around doing nothing a lot of the time, and still get as much done as everyone else. Free food 3 times a week Not everyone smells like BO

Cons

* Your job (as an engineer) will be to get people to do stuff for you, and to tell people what you are doing. You'll do almost no engineering work. * Saturday deploy (that is manual, and takes hours) * Lack of managers with an engineering background * Lack of good decision making from higher-ups * Too many meetings (I get maybe 2 hours of focused time) * Lack of focus on issues, rather focus on sellable marketing * No team cohesion (every team is a wild west) * Everything moves slowly * Teams use scrum horribly wrong, causing even more wasted time Honestly, everything that happens here is a con. Any time some issue happens in the company, policy is always the solution. Not fixing the actual problem, but just adding more process to slow stuff down even more. The teams are completely disorganized. Too many people trying to do the same work means everyone needs to understand it all, so there are always meetings to involve everyone. There is no database guru, so it's a mess.

MuleSoft Response

This was tough to read, and I wish you would have brought this feedback to me or anyone on the leadership team. We use open and honest feedback in the form of radical candor and our anonymous employee engagement survey to make real changes and improvements. While I accept you raising issues about team leadership, culture, and processes, seeing such negative commentary on your teammates in a public setting is disappointing, as it directly hurts the individuals on the team and the company we are all trying to build together. In our recent employee engagement survey, when asked "Would you recommend MuleSoft as a great place to work?", less than 7% of our engineers would not. We try to get better every day for everyone, including the 7% who feel we need to improve the most. We cannot improve though if we don’t embrace our core values of owning it and being respectful. If you think our release cycle is too manual or there are issues with your colleagues, talk to us about why you feel this way and how you think it can be improved so we can fix it. We want everyone to bring their best ideas forward so we can make MuleSoft better each day. A company is nothing more than a group of humans, with all our aspirations and faults, just trying to improve to the best of our ability. We not only encourage direct, candid feedback but expect it from everyone. I hope you'll consider a constructive way to affect change.

Pros

Product is in a hot space Office is in a great location if you are in SF Comp plan is pretty good

Cons

If your goal in life is to work in a place where you are challenged every day, learning, and the people who are in management positions are leaders with many years experience, Mulesoft IS NOT FOR YOU! This place is run by a bunch of "junior execs" and college kids who think they can run a $100M business with no experience. Don't believe what you see on the web about Mulesoft having a great culture. They are bleeding good talent. No one inside the company trusts each other, and there are many issues in marketing, sales, and engineering, The problems start at the top down. Case in point the CEO runs HR!!!!!

Pros

General level of talent. Challenging work environment. You will work with some really great people that you will learn from. Food is good (but getting worse).

Cons

Careers and people development are an afterthought. Politics and nepotism. Layers of process make it hard to get things done. Lots of chiefs, not enough indians. Management doesn't ever get their hands dirty.
