Current and former Unitree employees have reportedly described a tightly centralized management style and a demanding work environment at the Chinese robotics company. Accounts circulating online alleged that expenses above RMB100 required approval from CEO Wang Xingxing and that he was closely involved in product details.

The reports also described strict confidentiality requirements and demanding work schedules. Unitree said many of the claims were untrue and asked readers not to take them seriously, but did not specify which allegations it disputed. [TechNode reporting]
