Pros

Working for Anima is a unique experience and after having worked here for almost a year I can safely say it’s the best workplace I've had so far in 8+ years of career. Anima puts a lot of focus on growth and trust. From very early on you are empowered and trusted to make big decisions that can potentially be course-changing for the company. Everyone in the team is extremely talented and friendly, and many times I get the impression of being in a group of friends rather than a traditional workplace. The job itself is intellectually demanding but extremely interesting, and I spend my days solving challenging and impactful problems in creative ways. Anima’s mission is to change the world through improved access to healthcare. If you’d like to contribute to this mission while being thoroughly supported to become the best version of yourself, in an intellectually intense yet friendly and high trust environment, Anima will be a good fit for you.

Cons

It can be intense at times; you need to bring the best version of yourself to work.

Pros

You can tell yourself you're doing good for the world, though in reality the product isn't up to scratch and customers are leaving in droves (have a look at the reviews elsewhere if you don't believe me).

Cons

Working here feels like you're constantly walking on eggshells with a CEO whose behaviour is genuinely damaging and toxic. There's loads of chat about "no ego" and "taking ownership," but when it comes down to it, everything runs through the manipulative CEO. You're micromanaged to death, called out in front of everyone, and if you dare push back, you're out. The turnover is mental. People quit constantly or get fired left and right for reasons that don't really make sense ("culture fit"). Promises about progression, support, flexible working are all a lie. There's zero work-life balance, and burnout is constant. The way things are run is basically a mix of intimidation, mind games, and public humiliation. Feedback isn't meant to help you improve, it's used to knock you down and keep you in line. The CEO openly undermines people, including other senior staff, which just creates this atmosphere where everyone's anxious and insecure. This isn't a high-performance culture by any stretch. It's a toxic environment where the CEO's ego runs the show and everyone else is just trying to survive. If you're thinking about joining, seriously talk to people who've left first. And be ready to leave quickly if you value your mental health, your career, or just being treated with basic respect.

Pros

- Incredibly competent team, with some of the best people I have ever worked with. - The customer impact is very very real, and present in the organisation - customers come to all hands and share the impact of the platform on their practices / wards - Super visionary and ambitious mission - Growing exceptionally quickly and the energy is electric

Cons

- Intensity - everyone works really hard and it may be tough for someone who is not used to that level of intensity to manage - Obsessiveness with the mission - I was surprised at how OBSESSED people are with the mission here. Everyone really cares about achieving personalised medicine, and it can almost be overwhelming how single-minded everyone is in pursuing it
