Pros

There are some amazing, intelligent people at Mulesoft! Exciting business and product! Great benefits, compensation and work location.

Cons

It was challenging to work within the G&A function at MuleSoft along with being a woman in leadership. The leaders in this function were not transparent nor supportive. It often felt like my leaders were talking behind my back rather than being a supportive leader (providing feedback, coaching, growth opportunites and true leadership was lacking!) Executive leadership did not support or show appreciation for people programs, often times felt belittled and under-minded when proposing new programs or changes to help scale/mature business processes. The CEO was in every single decision which made it hard to get things done. Mulesoft significantly lacks diversity, especially women in leadership roles (just look at the Leadership team page on their website). In 2016, it was generally somewhere along the lines of 80% male, 20% female. Work/life balance is non-existent.

It means a lot that from your time at MuleSoft, you remember the exceptional people at the company. However, I’m sorry to hear about some of the issues you spoke of while you were on the team. As a fast growing company that is rapidly growing our headcount, we need employee programs and processes that are not only scalable, but also maintain the agile, startup culture we’ve worked so hard to build. This isn’t easy to do, and we’ve certainly made mistakes along the way, but they were never due to a lack of concern for employee programs. Regarding your comment about women in leadership, we actively seek to create a diverse workplace where everyone is equally supported to do their best work. We have many women in leadership roles across the company, but we work to be better everyday. We have signed the Equal Pay Pledge and conduct regular audits to ensure parity in pay and opportunity across the organization. In our latest review, we found that women at MuleSoft are promoted at a slightly higher rate than men, and that compensation among levels and tenure is roughly equal.

Pros

If you want to work for a pre-IPO software company on the way up that creates interesting technology then this is a great place to be. Engineering has a ton of initiatives in progress, so there are always challenging projects to work on and new technologies to learn. Most of the company develops in Java with web frontends built using AngularJS, but newer projects are written from the ground up using Node.js. Backend platforms heavily utilize Amazon Web Services, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Hadoop, etc. There is a very high bar to entry, so all the people who work here are really smart and interesting with good attitudes. As an engineer I mostly work with other engineers along with some people in professional services, product management, documentation, HR, and marketing/sales. In general the atmosphere is very collaborative and friendly with little political B.S. The company is growing rapidly, so you won't be employee number 10, but you also won't just be another face in a crowd. Most everyone knows each other by name and management does a decent job keeping people in the loop of what's going on at the macro-level. You'll find plenty of people enjoying a beer together in the common area Friday afternoons. Salaries are pretty good for engineers, but obviously won't quite match what you can get at an established large company. That's where the hope for an equity payoff comes in.

Cons

Nothing serious to complain about. Occasionally you'll find some dysfunction, which is inevitable whenever people from differing backgrounds work closely together, but it's always very minor from what I've seen. The sales and marketing teams can be a little more high-strung, but that's just the nature of those types of jobs and is common to every company I've worked at. Engineering and product managers are very busy, so you won't get a ton of hand's on direction, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're a self-starter. The products are not the latest sexy consumer fad, but the underlying technology is very interesting to work with and the business applications are huge.
