Pros

MuleSoft allowed for ownership of large, highly-visible projects. It's a fast-paced environment with rapid growth, and the headquarters is conveniently located in downtown San Francisco.

Cons

Becoming an expert in an area is more likely to pigeon-hole you from growing beyond that role. Performance reviews are not consistent, nor are they based on your role's actual responsibilities and deliverables. I experienced the addition of two male team members, both with less education and experience than myself, starting at and above what I was making at the time they joined.

It's great to hear that you had the chance to own some big projects. Last year was our first year with companywide performance reviews, and we are making a lot of changes, so I agree that they are not at all consistent. Many companies are switching between heavy, light and no performance review processes, so there does not seem to be a right answer, but we'll keep dialing it in for our culture to make it as helpful as possible. On the compensation question, it would be good to dig into your specific situation to insure there weren't disparities so please contact me directly. We ran an analysis several months ago to be sure that we were paying consistently across genders and the data showed that we were, but of course your team may have been otherwise and we'd like to know about that specific situation.

Pros

If you have great Core AEs, you get to do the fun part of sales which is selling. The product is good and we are constantly evolving our product. Salesforce install base and name recognition helps get you a lot of at bats.

Cons

SMB culture can be draining. There is less emphasis on being a strategic product expert and more on volume based selling. This may be where the business needs to go, but logging every minute of your day, being a great co prime, and functioning as a BDR is tough. There are also a lot of stellar performers and others on the exact same team who may have closed nothing.
