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
8y
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

They provide a lot of food, beer & snacks, but you do not choose a job by the food.

Cons

They strongly suggest employees to write a positive feedback on Glassdoor. They think employees are stupids, do not provide any career path, any feedback on your performance, and do not train leaders on how to be better bosses.

Pros

The company is growing very fast, so enormous amount of opportunity. Both to grow into management position, and to work up the individual contributor ladder. Team members are really solid and work hard. Great downtown location, yoga and lunch benefits.

Cons

Fast growth means that there is a lot of work to do and sometimes things that are fundamental are deprioritized in favor of new features. This is, however, getting better.
