Harrison-AI Reviews

Was a fantastic place to work until this year. Massive restructure, adopting an organisational structure which AI-generated articles praise, but deeper digging reveals that the company which created this structure has found that it didn't work. Teams split up and cut down to stumps. Previously high workload is now unmanageable, forcing everyone to use AI to meet unrealistic expectations at the expense of quality. Deeper thinking and careful quality checks are now being deprioritized, which is alarming given the number of lives the products impact. CEO office in a little bubble with LLMs, relishing in its sycophancy. Massive layoffs shortly after the deployment of an inefficient and expensive AI bot. Company morale at an all-time low. Poor talent retention, human labour treated as dispensable. There probably will be more job openings coming out once they realize the company is sinking, but the work is complex and niche (i.e. radiology AI). It takes a long time to train someone well enough to get up to speed, so the hire and fire rounds have been a waste of money. Lots of people dealing with health issues due to the stress, contradicting their supposed mission to improve healthcare. Hard work and long tenures are rewarded with redundancies. In this company, you'd never know when you could be laid off.

The CEO is in full blown AI psychosis. An AI chatbot that he vibe coded over the Christmas break has been given full access to all company systems and IP, he takes it as a personal insult if you don't use it on a daily basis, and non-technical staff are encouraged to use it to deploy apps that are putting company secrets at serious risk. The company is hemorrhaging money and operating at a huge loss, yet the CEO boasts about having "infinite runway" in the same breath as laying off 25% of the company for the most insane restructure yet (there have been many...) Mega $$$$ was spent for a whole rebranding and rollout of new "company values", and less than a year later those values have been abandoned. Deadlines keep getting shorter, more unattainable and expected to be completed with fewer staff. (Ever heard of a medical device company that does not have a test team?????) Everyone is SO burnt out and looking to get out. Engagement survey results are so bad that they aren't even shared anymore, let alone actioned. I am unsure if it's arrogance or desperation, but the company is scrambling and has lost the noble vision it once had.
