1. Brainwashing of Sales culture.
2. Some individuals have no idea of what are Software, Project Management or just Management. It is very scary!
3. Salaries are just in the average. People think that they are really good. Sorry, they aren’t.
4. Not many benefits. Sorry again, I don’t think that “PC or Mac” or “Annual Meetup” are benefits.
5. Brainwashing part II, MuleSoft “has” its core values:
- "Be fearless", BUT speaking up and feedback were provided but the management simply ignore them.
- "Own it", BUT I can see that the only people who "own it" are always the same. A lot of issues are created internally by MuleSoft (not even the Customers or prospects) and some of the others are fixing it.
- "Make it awesome", yes, the technical folks are trying to make it awesome BUT nobody really care about it.
- "Be a good human", the workplace was previously great and is now very unpleasant. Some people (fortunately few) are assertive and are not listening to the others.
6. Hiring process can be complex and long. A lot of good candidates realize that it is not worth it and drop during the process
Finally, I have seen a lot smart techie people leaving. A Technology company without these folks is an empty shell.
