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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

I have been with the company for a little over two years at the point I am writing this review. During my time, I have worked on some of the most exciting tasks that often required a lot of creativity to get done. The number of things I learned has been unmatched by any other company that I worked on before. While it is indeed a lot of work and often there is a lot of stress, tasks here feel more like a problem I am curious to solve than annoying, repetitive work. Colleagues are also highly motivated, which creates an almost addictive atmosphere of getting things done together. - A lot of the most exciting tasks I have ever worked at - Fast access to new tools with almost no buerocracy - A lot of creativity (more than any other job I have worked at before) - Extreme commitment of the leadership - Exciting collaborations - Highly motivated and hardworking team

Cons

- A lot of work (although most of the time work is very exciting) and stress
