Pros

Great benefits The people I had the pleasure of working with

Cons

Where to start… What I thought at first was a life-changing career move has crumbled in the blink of an eye. When I joined we solved a common challenge that legacy tech struggled with and it worked… we then decided it would be a great idea to hire some industry-leading tech goliaths to come in and rip that all up. We were sold an expensive “vision” that would change the world…. It’s not a life-saving technology.. it’s document processing. This “Human Centred Automation” message contradicted the very nature of what our technology did and it soon caught on as the market had no clue what it meant or how it helped. Although multiple people on the ground told leadership this was the case they didn’t listen. Blinded by their salaries and own greed the sales team was left to rot. Questions were being asked as to what was going on as far back as November but were met with radio silence until two days ago when over 100 people were told we had to be let go. The events that took place two days ago will have a catastrophic ripple effect on how the software will sell and I don’t see how Hyperscience comes back from this… for all of you that are still in the company… good luck.

Pros

- Great salary and benefits - Good technology - They hired incredibly talented individuals

Cons

The irony of their recent actions has meant that Hyperscience is finally a known brand, but for all the wrong reasons. Without a doubt, this is the worst company I have ever worked for. The leadership team is so weak they’re practically non-existent (until they let you go). It's very much a marketing lead organisation, hence the nonsense "Human Centered Automation" message which has failed to resonate with just about anyone. You have an OCR/ICR/IDP product - own it and you might sell something. The EMEA region was set up 2-2.5 years ago and the "leaders" that were brought in lacked industry expertise, so they tried to cookie-cutter the US's approach (the US was doing OK), combined with a fixation on automation, which of course did not work, and there was no plan B; for 2.5 years just aimlessly following the same strategy with the same results. Shocking. This raises many questions about the leadership team and how an unsustainable path was allowed to continue for so long. Instead of addressing it head on, they went on a mass hiring spree; perhaps they were hoping money would resolve the issue? In fairness, they did hire a lot of talented people, but without any kind of leadership from the US or EMEA, everyone was doomed from the beginning. They talk a good game around culture, but it’s so political the entire organisation is rotten to its core and operates in cliques. There is nothing human centered about the way they let 100+ people go. It is rumoured that their former CEO actually thanked the People team for their “hard work” laying employees off; if this is true, what planet are you on? Completely lacking class and empathy during an incredibly difficult time for your former employees, where we’re having to explain to our loved ones that we no longer have a job, struggling to keep roofs over our heads and food on the table, exacerbated further due to rising living costs. The fact he got let go a few days later was rather poetic and completely justified. If you are still working here and adding fake 5* reviews, ask yourself if this is the kind of company you signed up for. I suspect not.
