MuleSoft’s Airy Union Square space nods to donkeys
[...] in its Union Square office, a modern, airy space with floor-to-ceiling windows, there are plenty of references to mules.
On a lobby coffee table: a book called “The Natural Superiority of Mules.”
At the reception desk: a small stack of comics, “The Adventures of Max the Mule,” featuring a superhero mule wearing the MuleSoft logo, an M in a circle that looks vaguely like two donkey ears.
MuleSoft was founded in 2006 by Ross Mason, and its platform connects applications, data and devices for organizations like hospitals or colleges with a large IT infrastructure.
Phone and meeting rooms are named after the places where MuleSoft has offices, like Bay Area-themed North Beach, Napa and Sonoma.
A main conference room, Yosemite, has a meeting table so large it had to be carved up into pieces and hauled into the office and rebuilt.
On the second floor, rooms are named after New York City destinations, major mountains and spots in Australia.
Right next to that space is a cozy nook with soft seating and lighting, where employees can find quiet.
The company’s contractor, who’s from North Dakota, installed a rolling barn door outside the supply room.
There’s also a snack wall full of granola bars, pretzels, raisins and other treats.
Photos of employees and fun facts about them are attached to another wall.
