Vantaggi

The mission is genuinely impactful—helping clinicians save time and improve patient outcomes is meaningful work. The product is innovative and addresses a real need in the healthcare system.

Svantaggi

I joined the company excited by the mission and energised by the potential to contribute to meaningful work in the health tech space. But that enthusiasm quickly gave way to concern, as the reality of the internal culture became clear. While the company presents itself as a place where passionate people thrive, the reality is far more challenging. Burnout is common, turnover is high, and the work environment is structured more around control than trust. Employees are expected to put in long hours, take on responsibilities outside of their role, and regularly justify even the smallest pauses in their day. The message throughout the company is that there's "no room for ego," yet any form of questioning, feedback, or vulnerability is discouraged. Rather than fostering a collaborative, supportive atmosphere, fear and silence take over. Many people keep their heads down to avoid being the next in line for public criticism or sudden dismissal. Despite an intensive interview process, new team members are not given space to grow or settle in. From day one, there's a need to prove yourself constantly—often through daily written check-ins and close monitoring. The high expectations aren't matched with the support or autonomy required to meet them. When challenges inevitably arise, the response is often to shift blame to the individual. There's little evidence of leadership reflecting on whether internal processes, culture, or management style might be part of the issue. Instead, the assumption seems to be that the person wasn’t the right fit—no matter how many times that story repeats. Even in a mission-driven business, how people are treated day to day matters. A company’s culture should support and uplift its team—not leave them feeling undervalued, isolated, or fearful. If you’re considering joining, I strongly recommend speaking with multiple former employees to get a clear picture of what it's really like to work here. No role is worth compromising your wellbeing.

Thank you for sharing your reflections. I want you to know that we take this feedback seriously. We know that alongside our meaningful mission, the way people experience work at Anima is just as important. As a fast-growing startup, our culture can feel more intense than at larger, slower-moving companies. While this pace has helped us innovate rapidly and deliver impact for clinicians and patients, we acknowledge it has also created challenges around resourcing, onboarding, and support. We’re working hard to address these areas as we grow. This includes: 1) Scaling Sustainably: We’ve been hiring more quickly to make sure our headcount matches the pace of growth, so teams are properly resourced. 2) Better Onboarding & Support: We now have even more structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plans, so new joiners have the time and space to learn, grow, and feel comfortable settling in. 3) Benefits & Wellbeing: Guided by working groups and company-wide input, we’ve expanded our benefits to match world-class startup expectations. This includes private healthcare, a workplace nursery scheme, a $1,000 annual personal-development budget, an improved remote-work setup allowance, and more team get-togethers (in addition to two offsites each year). 4) Hybrid Connection: We’ve signed a lease for a London office for those who enjoy in-person collaboration and relationship-building, while continuing to support flexible ways of working. 5) Encouraging Feedback & Reflection: We’ve introduced new ways to share feedback, both openly and anonymously, so we can continually learn and improve as a leadership team. Culture is never “finished”. It evolves with the company. We’re committed to building a workplace that not only pursues an ambitious mission, but also empowers, supports, and trusts the people who make it possible.

Vantaggi

You can tell yourself you're doing good for the world, though in reality the product isn't up to scratch and customers are leaving in droves (have a look at the reviews elsewhere if you don't believe me).

Svantaggi

Working here feels like you're constantly walking on eggshells with a CEO whose behaviour is genuinely damaging and toxic. There's loads of chat about "no ego" and "taking ownership," but when it comes down to it, everything runs through the manipulative CEO. You're micromanaged to death, called out in front of everyone, and if you dare push back, you're out. The turnover is mental. People quit constantly or get fired left and right for reasons that don't really make sense ("culture fit"). Promises about progression, support, flexible working are all a lie. There's zero work-life balance, and burnout is constant. The way things are run is basically a mix of intimidation, mind games, and public humiliation. Feedback isn't meant to help you improve, it's used to knock you down and keep you in line. The CEO openly undermines people, including other senior staff, which just creates this atmosphere where everyone's anxious and insecure. This isn't a high-performance culture by any stretch. It's a toxic environment where the CEO's ego runs the show and everyone else is just trying to survive. If you're thinking about joining, seriously talk to people who've left first. And be ready to leave quickly if you value your mental health, your career, or just being treated with basic respect.

Vantaggi

- Incredibly competent team, with some of the best people I have ever worked with. - The customer impact is very very real, and present in the organisation - customers come to all hands and share the impact of the platform on their practices / wards - Super visionary and ambitious mission - Growing exceptionally quickly and the energy is electric

Svantaggi

- Intensity - everyone works really hard and it may be tough for someone who is not used to that level of intensity to manage - Obsessiveness with the mission - I was surprised at how OBSESSED people are with the mission here. Everyone really cares about achieving personalised medicine, and it can almost be overwhelming how single-minded everyone is in pursuing it
