Ambitious mission with fantastic contributors and flexibility - Clinical Product Lead Numan Employee Review

A small number of exceptionally talented and thoughtful colleagues. Unfortunately, many of the people I most respected left or were made redundant during the summer 2026 restructuring.

In my experience, leadership struggled to turn highly favourable conditions in the weight-management market into a coherent and sustainable strategy. Priorities shifted constantly, specialist expertise was frequently disregarded, and capable employees were abruptly made redundant through a process that felt poorly explained and lacking in transparency. The culture also lacked psychological safety. During a group forum, a senior contractor publicly questioned me about my individual wellbeing score and asked me to elaborate on why it wasn't to their liking. As someone with a disability, I found this exposing and inappropriate, particularly because the conversation took place in front of colleagues rather than privately. I was also repeatedly approached by the CEO for unexpected conversations in the office, which I experienced as very uncomfortable. Senior contractors were sometimes given significant influence before appearing to understand the organisation, its people or the work already underway. Loosely formed executive ideas were regularly treated as urgent strategy, creating churn and forcing teams to deliver against continually moving priorities. The restructuring removed substantial talent and institutional knowledge while, from my perspective, there was little visible accountability at leadership level for the decisions that had shaped the company’s position.

I've really enjoyed being part of a company with a mission that genuinely matters. Helping people live healthier lives gives a strong sense of purpose, and it's motivating to work on products that can have a meaningful impact on patients. One of the things I've valued most is the calibre of people across the business. There are a lot of smart, thoughtful and committed individuals who care deeply about doing good work and improving the experience for patients. People are passionate, collaborative and willing to roll their sleeves up to solve problems together.

Like many fast-growing companies, pace of change can be feel demanding at times. I have an appreciation for emerging and fast markets, in the last 10 years working in high growth businesses, you have an appreciation as for why shifts can happen.
