Pros

CTO and founders supported by a talented team of engineers have made a viable and proven product in a market area that was extremely tough to enter into. I'm honestly very impressed what Mujin has achieved. I have been with the company for over 4 years when we were just 50 people and now we are close to 300. There have been challenges and growing pains along the way but in the end I believe what Mujin has achieved is pretty amazing over its time especially kicking off in Tokyo which is a challenging area for startups to grow is nothing short of impressive. When I think about other tech giants who's only revenue models come from advertising, consumption, data mining we have a unique a high tech company who are addressing more practical real world problems such as manual labor. This for me is what makes Mujin stand out. Unlike other high tech companies in today's climate who are drastically scaling back, Mujin is growing and actively recruiting. Other notable pros are for our Tokyo (HQ) office are: - We have a very internationally diverse team and English is the primary language for engineers. - Lunch is provided every day. - There is a a Gym - Corporate housing support (They will assist to find you accommodation and the rent is automatically deducted from salary pre tax which has a good cost saving overall). - Monthly team dinners

Cons

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.
