MuleSoft reviews

It took me 2.5 years to find an opportunity such as the one I have at Mulesoft. I have had a very strong track record of successfully managing sales teams at the largest software companies globally. 3 years ago, I had my second child and knew I needed certain criteria in my next career move. One, I shine in start-up companies where I have the ability to be enabled and make a true impact. Secondly, my success of being a mom of two young children was a top priority and typically becomes challenging when you pair that with my #1 criteria of being challenged and a contributor at a start-up. I met with Greg Schott, keep in mind I was a passive candidate, and I immediately shared my desire to kick butt and be a mom. We had numerous candid conversations about this before I was able to accept an offer to be a part of the Mulesoft family. I have to say, everything Greg shared was spot-on. For the first time in my career, I feel like I am as excellent of an employee, as I am a mom. If you are a mom, with an outstanding track record of success or great potential, this could be the right company for you. Remember, not everyday is easy, and I am not home for every dinner, but I am home for most and feel like Mulesoft has been incredibly supportive of my needs.

As a veteran of the dotcom bubble and having worked for many companies, big & small, over the years, MuleSoft is the most Goldilocks like when it comes to having the right combination of people, product and culture. Our products take on the Big, Hard challenge of enterprise integration. We don’t help people take selfies sexting each other. We help hospitals get more accurate patient information, insurance companies process claims faster, governments run more efficiently. Silicon Valley startups are all full of smart people, but ours smart ones are genuinely nice. Culturally we still lean toward the no non-sense side of things and there is almost a zen-like avoidance to the artificial funkiness so common at other startups. Compared to other startups, we have more veterans of the industry, the Qui-Gon Jinn’s and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s who have been through the ups and downs and don’t get cowed by the challenges at hand easily. Couple tidbits worth noting: The true colour of the company was unfortunately illustrated through a tragedy. A brilliant young colleague of ours unfortunately passed away unexpectedly. The company really put in the effort in a humble, low-key, respectful and compassionate way to support his family as well as memorialize him. A very sad incident yet provides an authentic insight into the company culture. Ann Winblad’s VC firm was in the company’s seed round (as well as subsequent rounds) and Ms. Winblad has been on the board ever since. Ms. Winblad is a true pioneer and trail blazer in the VC and tech industry, and she is and has always been a great positive influence on the company.
