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.

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

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!
