Pros

Good products and smart people.

Cons

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.

This was extremely tough to read, as our goal is that every person feels challenged and supported. It seems like there is a disconnect with our core values, which are the foundation of who we hire and what we strive to be. I wonder how there can be such a mismatch, and while you mention that you provided feedback to leadership, I would urge you to come find me and let’s talk through what has brought you down so much. I have utmost confidence and pride in the team we have built in Sydney—our latest engagement survey shows that Muleys 21:1 would recommend MuleSoft as a great place to work—but I understand that there are exceptions. I hope you’ll find the time to connect with me in person. Regards Will

Pros

The product offering is truly and really best in class. I continue to truly enjoy sharing the technological aspect of the product offering to customers. Its best when I see my customers gain real business value using the tooling we offer.

Cons

The company has great values and culture. Today however, it feels like it lives mostly just on paper and the brochures we sell to new candidates. The MuleSoft today is no longer the same MuleSoft 3 years ago. The benefits aren't truly consistent across all offices. What you see and read really only applies to the primary office locations. The working environment has also taken a turn for the worse. We often overly celebrate achievement of KPIs versus some of the real work to make customers wildly successful. There is also a heavy enforcement of processes and execution of a one-size-fits-all strategy and formula that is assumed to work based on assumed causal effect factors taken from large deals. Any deviation to this methodology is greatly frowned upon. Management seems to be more concerned with processes vs helping the working team to get deals across the line. And yet, they are punished and ridiculed for non-performance. Managers micro-manages to a point where every activity needs to be reported and justified, so more time is spent dealing with internal processes than spending time with prospects and customers. Communication are said to be open but in reality, any comments or views that are not aligned to the management's direction is either just pushed aside, or more than often heavily rebuked.

As we've grown, we are always trying to strike the right balance between using processes to streamline what we do vs processes which cause friction. I welcome the opportunity to hear more directly so I can work to solve some of these issues you're feeling. We work each day to build an exceptional culture across MuleSoft, but we're by no means perfect, and we have "bugs" in our culture and processes. We aspire to have radically candid conversations about our bugs, and then work to fix them. In our recently completely engagement survey, our team responded to the statement "I would recommend MuleSoft as a great place to work" by a ratio of 21:1 agree to disagree. Yet those who disagree, have valid issues. I hope you'll come to me so we can work together to address your concerns, so we can make MuleSoft stronger.

Pros

1. Great Technology platform. 2. Great humble Global Leadership who preach about MuleSoft core values especially the core value of Good Human. 3. The company is serious about grooming people globally to understand the technology platform and it is really very impressive.

Cons

1. Weak leadership with little understanding of guiding, setting directions and understanding the business model 2. Little trust on the working team and micro managing the people. 3. Communication GAP between the leader and the working team 4. Working team are always double guessing what the leader is thinking and always fearing to go to work 5. Working team constantly challenge on their work as the leader always has his own mind set, so why have the meeting to discuss if he has already make up his mind before the meeting. 6. Lack of professionalism and weak in handling situation which leads to demoralising the morale of the working team. 7. Double standard operating model.

Our recent employee engagement survey had outstanding results overall. However, just like software has bugs, we are going to have "bugs" in our culture, like those you have cited here. Our job is to identify and fix issues, so please employ radical candor to raise these issues directly - then we can get to work to fix them!
