A decent company with a lot of wasted potential - Engineer Mujin Employee Review

Colleagues are easy to get along with

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.

- 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.
