Pros

Free lunch, free snacks and drinks. Lots of interesting people from various back grounds. Many company activities and free dinner with colleagues. Some robot training provided.

Cons

Not all of my train fares were provided and I already started to have doubts during my interview before joining this company. There are lots of over time and it is questionable if it's a healthy way to work. The mental health check ups do not work. Nothing improved or changed during the time I worked for this company The most senior person tends to lead people who do not necessarily have leadership skills and I have seen abuse of power because of this. The HR does not provide all of the necessary documents on time. High turnover rate

Pros

- Great option if you want to relocate to Japan. With Mujin you most likely be eligible for a PERMANENT residence permit after one year. In most other places it won’t be the case. Relocation support is not as good as in Big Tech, but good enough - they help opening bank account, find you temporary accommodation, HR is super friendly and will help you even with day to day struggles if you reach out. - Company has good reputation in robotics industry. During exhibitions Mujin stand is always full of people. People from other robotics companies will try to proactively reach out to you during robotics events if you wear Mujin uniform.

Cons

- Micro management. They don’t really want software engineers who will solve problems, they want programmers who will code what they are told and don’t ask questions. Some people manage to get some autonomy, but you will not be trusted as professional by default. - A LOT of bad software engineering practices. The worst place I’ve been at when it comes to that. And in combination with micro management it creates an awful combination where you are forced to do things in a way you consider ridiculous. Its really hard to grow in such environment - most likely you will degrade as you will learn to close your eyes on a lot of things. - No management. All managers are developers - which sounds good in theory, but leads to even worse results in practice. No clear goals, direction changes 180 degrees every few months, everything is always urgent.

Smart People, Toxic Work Environment

Pros

- The team includes well-intentioned and intelligent colleagues. - Offers interesting projects with complex challenges.

Cons

- There’s a strong culture of overtime, leading to long hours, often at the cost of productivity and quality. - Passive aggressiveness is common in the workplace. - Pressure to attend company and team events outside of working hours. - Pay is average. - Elements of a "corporate cult" are present, with employees often referred to as "Mujinians," encouraged to view the workplace as a "Mujin family," and focus heavily on company goals even when detrimental to employees' well-being.
