A lot of fun work within a highly motivated team - Anonymous employee MyelinZ Employee Review

MyelinZ is a genuinely mission-driven company working on a hard, meaningful problem in brain and body health. As a software engineer, you get a lot of ownership and the chance to ship real product quickly, with exposure to a broad tech stack (mobile, backend, data, and sometimes ML/biometrics depending on the role). The team is ambitious, collaborative, and open to new ideas, and you learn a lot simply by being close to the product and users. If you enjoy early-stage environments, you’ll find the work energising and the pace exciting.

As with most early-stage startups, priorities can shift quickly, and some processes are still being built. Timelines can be aggressive, and you may need to context-switch across tasks. Workload is very intense, so it's not ideal if you prefer a slower pace or very structured corporate processes.

The teammates were very helpful and passionate,

The hiring process dragged on for three months, only for me to be brought on as an intern working full-time hours for less than half the minimum wage (with 20% going to transport costs). I was promised a balance between game development and neuroscience learning, but in reality, I was given unrealistic demands with zero guidance or mentorship. Despite being an unpaid/underpaid intern, I was expected to produce results as if I were a full-time employee. In my last one-on-one meeting, I was told to "rethink if this position was what I wanted"—as if I had any real support or opportunities to succeed. I was also told that even Senior Developers were earning barely livable wages while working 10-hour days, which speaks volumes about how little this company values its employees. This was not an internship—it was an exploitative setup that offered no real learning opportunities, just labor for cheap. The company recently changed its name from Myelin-H to MyelinZ, but a name change won’t fix a toxic work culture that treats interns and employees as disposable. If you're looking for a workplace that respects your time, effort, and growth, look elsewhere.
