Pros

The company culture, at least in my experience, always centered around self accountability and empowerment. If you saw an opportunity, took the initiative and got people onboard with it you could move forward without any friction. Always taking into account the company goals or vision of course. Besides that it had a lot of cool benefits, even for Argentina which had a lot of difficulties given the inflation.

Cons

Leadership seemed to struggle trying to find a clear vision to execute on, after the big growth in the pandemic we went back and forth restructuring the company a couple of times, teams switching, new goals, new names. Besides that, growing in such numbers created a lot of staleness and difficulty to execute, which eventually was taken as a reason to further downsize the company. After a couple of RIFs and personal decisions I decided to move to a different thing, but without any resentment, I enjoyed my time at Mural and appreciate the opportunity.

Pros

Great people and at least when I joined very international

Cons

When I started I loved it, then the changes in the company and the tech debt gradually killed my soul. Priorities and values kept shifting. Too much code built on top of spaghetti and many have VERY strong opinions about standards that often conflict. I give a low d&i rating because it seemed to me they were pushing out international engineers in favor of US. I can understand wanting your employees to all be on the same page in terms of language, culture, etc. but as a developer in the US, I think it's arrogant and short-sighted to assume that engineers in the US, particularly the bay area are somehow inherently better.
