      Pros

      There is none to mention.

      Cons

      Here is how this company operates at its core: 1) The CEO goes to a potential "partner", asks them what they need, and claims that "Huma's platform" can solve their problem via simple quick "configurations". 2) The CEO comes to the CTO and asks him to hack together a minimal unsustainable feature set that can be sold as the solution to that problem. 3) The CTO pulls a few all-nighters and slave-drives the engineers, while sufficiently threatening and belittling them at the same time, to hack together that minimal solution as quickly as possible. 4) The CEO pretends that all they did was to "configure" their "platform". The CEO and his pals, especially the Chief Medical Officer, who are brilliant BS artists, also sell this story to the investors. The reality is there is no "platform", and there is no "configuration". One way to think about it is that "nothing" can be "configured" to solve anything. You just need to "configure" your "nothing" by hacking together a minimal point solution to that thing. And interestingly, "nothing" even has some great attributes: it is disease-agnostic, device-agnostic, cloud-agnostic, everything-agnostic, because it is nothing after all. Isn't that great? This is sold to investors as part of the magic of Huma: x-agnostic "platform" for whatever x your heart may desire. All this is now known by every single employee in the company, but the investors in Huma have gotten badly duped, and I wonder when they will realize what actually happened.

      It is all a lie

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - When they had a good budget for the investments we learned a lot. Also we start planning new solutions (which never takes place) but was good work all the strategy process - the people (not the executives) - office view - flexibility you can WFH anytime.

      Cons

      the CEO thinks he is Steve Jobs. He is a hypocrite and a liar, as the positive vibe on social media does not match his actions. The lack of genuine care for employees is evident. he can be with at the lift an don’t say a word. The company's decline may be attributed to his constant mistreatment of people and his closed-mindedness to new ideas. Additionally, all the lídership team are the CEO’s friends so it’s resulted in a chaotic environment. The most important thing here is that the company do NOT have a clear road map or product. More than 12 year to have a basic app that connects some devices. (Clearly not rocket since) I feel more sorry for the investor than us the employees. There is LOT OF MONEY wasted (250 million of pound to be precises)

      The Good, the Bad and the Unbelievable

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      This ‘start-up’ is genuinely bizarre, after close to a decade of operating it is no closer to achieving product-market-fit, financial sustainability or really having anything to show for efforts of many employees they’ve churned through. Working for Medopad/Huma alters your perception of business and healthcare, and although it leaves many burnt out, the insights gained by the few survivors are invaluable. Taking a job here will teach you to question everything, take nothing granted and respect the aspects of ruining a start-up which are often ignored. Think seriously about joining this organisation if you have any dependents or worry about financial security. Also bear in mind you are likely to be belittled and questioned on a day to day basis. If you are open to an emotional rollercoaster then Huma can guarantee a once-in-a-career opportunity, with experiences that you will not get anywhere else (both good and bad, but mainly bad). Workload can range from enormous tasks to almost nothing, the type of work is also as varied, ranging from pitching to clients to filling out spreadsheets and generating complex ideas. If you are unwilling to do menial tasks or mass produce ‘slide decks’ don’t apply. Despite the Senior Leadership having no clinical background or experience, prepare to be overruled, undermined and disrespected. Conversely as you too will be given work you are completely unqualified for, use this as an opportunity to learn and experiment with someone else’s money.

      Cons

      Medopad/Huma hire great people only to burn through them at an astonishing rate. I have that heard that more than 100 people have left through either sacking, quitting or just disappearing in the last 2 years. On the plus side you will develop a fantastic network of colleagues, bonded through a sustained period of hardship. Although the workforce itself is diverse and inclusive, the senior leadership team have a poor understanding of how create an environment in which everyone feels comfortable, equal and respected and is not a supportive environment for young women. While the mission of the company at a high-level is admirable if confused, your day-to-day reality will be firefighting and trying to keep the CEO happy regardless of the impact on the broader business. As a byproduct of illformed strategy, Medopad/Huma flip-flops between projects without dedicating the necessary investment, time or research and as a result have a group of semi-functioning products with no users. If you are not comfortable with a completely ‘sales’/‘deals’ driven environment with little regard for clinical safety, evidence or users then this is not the place for you. Ask questions during the interview process, do not take a commission-based payment structure, do not put personal contacts on the line, find someone who has been employed for more than a year and talk to them about the company.
