Pros

On the technical side, Mujin is a company that is not afraid to ask the right set of questions! Every day, we get to take on challenging problems and come up with innovative solutions. What I liked about working in mujin: - the experience and professional growth that come from exposure to large (and sometimes unexpected) variations in real environment data - the value-driven approach to work that guides and accelerate growth - the great team with exceptionally talented members which I used to bounce ideas with - the kindness of everyone and the family atmosphere - the rewarding feedback and sense of accomplishment when I see first hand my work helping customers, and ultimately end users improve their life-style - the short CI/deployment cycle gives the sense that I’m making an impact on the world. Automating the world one line of code at a time - the degree of autonomy I have in my work. Not too small that restricts my creativity. Not too large that I feel lost or unproductive - the continuous learning and exposure to new products and technologies - the accessibility to large amount of data from large variety of environments that helped me develop, test and debug features - the cross-department collaboration. everyone is eager to help whenever they can - the exciting potential of mujin. I have never worked in a company scaling up as fast as mujin - the fun perks of working at mujin like: gaming zone, gym, group dinner, free launch in cafeteria, … etc. Unfortunately, I had to leave mujin due to stressing personal reasons

Cons

- I really wish I had more time to allocate to do more experiments, research deeper and fundamental solutions, explore more recent technologies and learn more from the massive data we have access to. But, I think this is normal for a company expanding as fast as mujin - living in japan can be difficult at times. Please make sure to reach out to GA if you need any help.

Pros

Colleagues are easy to get along with

Cons

Imagine you work at in a company where deadlines are almost always missed due to lack of organization on multiple levels. Imagine you work unnecessary overtime. Unnecessary not because your colleagues are inefficient, but because leadership has failed to implement any cohesive planning/forecasting, and failed even further to allocate resources effectively. Imagine you feel anxiety about taking a vacation with your family, because you never know when that phone will ring, even if your contract never stipulates on-call requirements. Now imagine that during a company wide all hands meeting, you and your colleagues raise thoughtful questions about the direction of the company, and perhaps even pitch a few ideas of how to improve things. After all, feedback is crucial in any organization. After all manner of input and suggestions from multiple departments, managers and non-managers, the founder and CEO replies with simply this: "All this chaos is by design." That's it. No improvements, no changes, no self-reflection. This is what working in Mujin is like.

Pros

You get some money every month.

Cons

- For stock options, they will never give you a legally binding document to sign or even see. There will be just one number written in your offer letter; that's all you get. Go ahead, ask for a full legal document before joining or ask leadership now if you're still in Mujin. Even directors with vested options left empty-handed. Once the first ones did, now all are leaving, including the co-founder. - We have lost count of how many C-levels, Directors, Senior Project Managers, and Software Engineers have left. Very high turnover rate. I think we lost 40% of our people in 2025. - You will not be treated with respect. Expect extremely long working hours, including weekends. - Sudden "promotion" as your boss just quit. You will get some peanuts for the title change. If you decline, you are not a team player anymore.
