Pros
After working at MuleSoft for over a year I believe I have a good perspective on the company and what makes it special. First, the culture is really fantastic from the top down. Management makes a point of hiring "good humans". Every day I come to the office I work with people who are both high in character and ambition. The best part is there are no egos, no drama, or blaming. Helpfulness and a get-it-done attitude is all around. But you are expected to move the dial and get stuff done at the highest level. If you are naturally inclined to be collaborative and proactive this is a great place to hang your hat. I think the reason for this culture is that the managers all the way up to the CEO highly value the art of listening. They understand that once someone doesn't feel their viewpoints or perspectives are valued, they will stop offering it. We have this motto about "radical candor" that seems to go up, down and sideways. In terms of work-life balance, I have been able to make it work for me. I have a seven year old boy and I am able to take him school every day, take him to piano lessons and be a good father. I do work in the evenings and in the mornings to fulfill a full days work, and then some. But to be honest I do so because I want to; my job is fun and infinitely interesting. I’m learning a ton and everyone around me are incredibly smart, so you want to up your game. The trajectory of the company is really exciting. At first I was really worried that the growing pains of I was witnessing were going to be an on-going issue. Some of the process when I first showed up were broken. But after some trial and error things are pretty smooth now. I am impressed how everyone here is willing to adapt and change as we grow.
Cons
We need to hire faster. It takes too long. Space was an issue but we recently expanded our SF office so things are much more comfortable. My perspective is within marketing and the IT side of the house.
