Pros

People seems to be nice.

Cons

The engineering leadership has fair management skills, but they lack technical skills and up-to-date knowledges. They think they are building state-of-art products, but, in fact, they are just fooling those idiot executives. The smokeless political battles from certain groups of people are driving away real talents and squeezing the spaces for others.

MuleSoft Response

I'm sorry it sounds like you had a bad experience. From my perspective, the project I am working on is for sure state of the art. Our team is working with Kubernetes, Docker and Helm. We are building on top of these new technologies to build a globally scalable platform for our customer's apps. Day to day I am involved in all parts of the project - from planning the work stream (we are currently using Kanban), to collaborating with other teams on common APIs, to writing code which will run on 1000's of machines. Additionally, in my opinion, it's the engineer's role to understand and communicate the complexities of choosing between different engineering solutions, not the exec's. And I know which role I would rather have :P

Pros

If you have great Core AEs, you get to do the fun part of sales which is selling. The product is good and we are constantly evolving our product. Salesforce install base and name recognition helps get you a lot of at bats.

Cons

SMB culture can be draining. There is less emphasis on being a strategic product expert and more on volume based selling. This may be where the business needs to go, but logging every minute of your day, being a great co prime, and functioning as a BDR is tough. There are also a lot of stellar performers and others on the exact same team who may have closed nothing.
