Vantaggi

- Surviving here means you’ll probably do alright elsewhere. - Some of the smartest and most motivated people you’ll ever work with, sadly let down by senior leadership. - Free breakfast.

Svantaggi

If you are unfortunate enough to work here, you will be exposed to the most toxic work culture you will ever experience. - no advocacy for team members. Senior leadership are so scared about their own positions leading to a lot of finger pointing and noise and very poor ownership across products. - no professional development. Don’t even think about it. It’s not going to happen. There’s occasional talk but no action. - no cohesion between product, tech, clinical teams. Left hand never knows what the right hand is doing. - Unprofessional behaviour tolerated and allowed to go unchecked - Poor decision making at senior level resulting in reactionary decisions. No sense of pragmatism. - incredibly high turnover of staff resulting in skill loss at an unprecedented rate.

Thank you for your review and positive feedback about the team you worked with. Over the past two months, Babylon has carried out the vital process of reviewing our engineering platform, technology tribe structure and general capabilities to ensure the product is more scalable and to support long-term global delivery. The COVID-19 crisis has obviously also had a huge impact on both our clients’ needs and delivery requirements, and we have had to review our structures to reflect our short-term delivery needs. This work resulted in around 5% of our workforce being furloughed in the UK as they were not critical to current delivery while others have left the business as they fell outside of the scope of our renewed longer-term focus. During those same two months, we have seen a resultant upturn in the number of negative reviews, with March and April now representing nearly 50% of the total reviews Babylon has received in its six years history on Glassdoor. At Babylon, we really value our open and collaborative culture and carry out a survey among our two thousand employees every two weeks anonymously using an independent platform, collecting thousands of data points to assess the true feelings of Babylonian across many different subjects. Our bi-weekly anonymous employee survey shows that when asked, ‘How likely is it you would recommend Babylon as a place to work?’, 71% scored 7 or more out of 10.

Svantaggi

CEO/COO had a completely different concept of what this company's identity was from what we were actually doing.
