Pros

Good teammates. A company for a good cause.

Cons

Myelin-H has the worst owners in the world of start ups. They don't know how to manage people. They don't know how to manage Time. They don't know how the technology ever works. The CEO "for a gaming company" never played a game in his whole life, not even his own company's games, yet he controls everything starting from the idea to the implementation. They do micromanagement, ask for daily reports and give daily tasks, no matter what's in the sprint or what you have planned. They won't till you that you have to work at least 10 hours per day and most of the times work on weekends to achieve what they planned and will always make you feel that you are behind what they expected. If you are working remotely they will not tell you about public holidays where everyone will be off but you will be working. If you are in the office they tell you that you have meal vouchers but they will deduct 30% of the vouchers value from your salary. They will tell you that you will have a fruit basket and snacks and dedicated monthly credit to buy what you want, but they will get you whatever they find, when they are there not always. They will tell you that you have gym subscription, but they will never discuss this unless you ask, and you will never have time because of the workload.

Pros

Good cause (helping neurological patients), Good field (Neurotechnology), Good co-workers (NOT THE FOUNDERS)

Cons

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! There is this pattern of hiring people, let them work for less than 1/2 months, exploit them as much as they can (holidays, weekends...) and maybe don't even pay them. It happened to at least 4 people that I know, let alone the others that will come after me. Do you want to sue them? You're in the probation so no lawyer can save you. Were you a full-time employees? They don't care. They will fire you for no reasons and they will leave you stranded on the street with no chance of getting the unemployment status, They will find a "bad reason" so you won't receive money and you won't proceed with legal ways to handle the situation. P.s.: the only good review on Glassdoor was done by the founder himself, since he's the only one living in Manchester and no former employees are from there.

Pros

A great learning opportunity to understand where NOT to work or invest your time.

Cons

I joined this company temporarily and walked into a complete chaos. There’s no structure, no leadership, and most definitely no direction. Sprint planning is a mess. Tasks are thrown around randomly, often completely blocked by other tasks. People spend more time figuring out what to do than actually doing anything. Instead of hiring professionals or a proper project manager, company money is constantly spent on events and image-building. On the technical side? Same disaster. People are hired and let go constantly, so nothing is organized or consistent. They routinely ask for feedback on the product and other things, not because they genuinely want to improve, but because, despite the image they’ve built, they’re incredibly insecure about it (as they should be). What’s hilarious is that they say they welcome honest input, but the moment your tone shifts from blindly positive to even mildly constructive, they take it personally. Very few people who are actually good at what they do and offer valuable feedback get dismissed or completely ignored. What’s worse is how dishonest the leadership is. Most of what they post online or say in interviews and meetings about the product is simply untrue. They act—honestly, the only thing they’re actually good at—like they’re building something meaningful. But the product is nowhere near usable. I doubt even a healthy person would use it more than once (if that), let alone someone with a neurological condition. My contract said I’d work with patient data and collaborate with big-name hospitals. The company can barely run a basic user testing session without compromising the results, let alone handle clinical trials. Obviously, none of what was promised in the contract actually happened. And then there’s how they treat people. They take advantage of international hires, using visa pressure to control them while underpaying and overworking them. Be very very careful with these people! They have no shame stating: “Work 12 hours a day or you won’t be paid.” They also ended my contract early without honoring the notice period, knowing I didn’t have the time or resources to pursue it legally. I was initially hopeful because a few academic names were involved, but once you engage with leadership in a disagreement, you quickly realize a disconnect between the affiliations they showcase and the professionalism you’d expect from those associations.
