Babylon's actions do not surprise me in the slightest. As a former employee I have grave concerns about the way this company operates.
Senior management seems bi-polar at best. The cult like leader preaches great culture and vision on a path to change to world, yet on the other hand being ruthless to the point of people burning out and getting fired (more like "disappeared") for standing up against unreasonable requests and risky management decisions.
Their technology teams and platforms are a shambles. Lots of staff members question the accuracy and validity of the "AI" behind the chat bot. When a simple linear regression used to "predict" your step count is presented as if it is a breakthrough in AI then one starts to worry.
Almost all teams suffer from burnout, low morale and everything is constantly a top priority for management. The average tenure of a permanent employee is 9 months. Not a very good sign for a healthcare company.
I would not be surprised if this turns into a Theranos style scandal. (Just dont ever mention the words Theranos to the founder or higher ups as that will be the end of your time at Babylon)
