Pros
Last week I attended MuleSoft's all company meeting in San Diego. I've been to a lot of company meetings and kickoffs in the past but this was unique. Even though MuleSoft is now a global company, they invest in bringing every employee together for this annual meeting and the CEO has been doing this for the past 9 years. These meetings at other companies are typically all rah rah and arm waving , but it was very different at this meetup. The leaders were open with the vision and strategy for the company and they were direct about what's working and where we need to focus and even improve. We also spent a lot of time working with our teams and cross-functionally to work through issues and get ourselves positioned for 2018. I came away feeling great about the company but for all the right reasons -- I understand what we need to do to succeed and see specifically what I need to do to make that happen. I'm in sales and came away with the knowledge and resources I need to get the job done. I also had a chance to meet hundreds of colleagues from other offices from around the globe and it's exciting to be surrounded by so many talented people who are equally excited about what we're building. Big things ahead for this company.
Cons
Keep up the open communication. It makes a huge difference when we all understand where we're going and what we need to do to get there.
