Think early 2000s office culture - Anonymous employee Humanoid Employee Review

- I like how leadership is transparent about the business model & targets, and everyone understands how their work connects to commercial outcomes. Making sure we create something that is commercially viable is pretty much the driving force behind all decisions here. - Lots of smart people with tons of humanoid experience. Opportunities to learn and exchange knowledge. - pay is higher than expected, especially for a startup. I like my job but I also like money. potential equity upside is a plus. - Turnover here is actually quite low - with the exception of a handful of people who were laid off this year because of business reasons. Seems pretty isolated though, no concerns.

- Not a con for me personally, but if you are coming from a slow-moving industry (like defense/aerospace / certain big corporations) then our environment can feel chaotic at first. On the flip side: if you are specifically looking to break out of that slow pace, then you will thrive here. - Processes are still evolving, startup ambiguity can be uncomfortable for some.

Incredible colleagues: The engineers and designers at Humanoid are some of the smartest and most talented people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Exciting projects: The work is cutting, edge robotics, and you’ll get to be part of truly innovative and inspiring projects.

Leadership issues: The UK-based C-suite is, unfortunately, the worst I’ve experienced in my career. Internal conflicts, belittling staff, and general poor treatment create a toxic environment. The founder’s behavior, in particular, can be highly problematic (a warning: think of the character played by Taika Waititi in Free Guy, it’s uncomfortably similar, including dress sense). Unequal experience: The Canadian and US teams are much better—great managers, supportive colleagues, but the UK teams expose you directly to the dysfunctional leadership.
