Pros

Mujin has been deploying tons of robotics system running 24/7 in real factory. There are various issues researcher/developer has never encountered in laboratory environment. Analyzing such problems every day helps us gain insight and learn what is important for realistic automation. Here, I could challenge such severe difficulties and develop many features introduced to genuinely valuable robotics system. Developers are well respected and operation side is careful of disturbing our concentration, thus we can work on development in efficient manner. Only necessary meetings are held (unlike many Japanese traditional companies). We can easily talk with leaders/CTO in person as they are close. I decided to leave here for different field I'm more interested in, however, if such new opportunity wouldn't come to me, I might want to stay for decades.

Cons

Mujin system is not a demonstration, but a real product. Whenever any issue happens, we need to solve as soon as possible, and as mentioned above, some systems are running 24/7, so, many employees have to be ready for issues anytime. (In different point of view, there are more chances to see and solve realistic problems!)

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.
