Unitree Technology responded on Sept. 1 after online discussion around claims such as 「employees face punishments but hardly any rewards」 and 「expense reimbursements above 100 yuan require Wang Xingxing’s approval」 trended on social platforms. The company said that 「many parts of the content are inaccurate, and people should not take it as true.」
People described as close to Unitree also told the media that the company’s overall pay is not considered high within the industry. According to the report, Unitree offers better compensation than traditional industrial robotics companies, but still pays less than embodied intelligence startups that emerged after 2023. Some employees said ordinary staff have received salary increases below the broader market level and face heavy workloads. Another employee said that in the company’s earlier period, staff were asked to work extra hours on top of 996 schedules and alternating long-short work weeks. Some longtime employees also said 2025 and 2026 were two years with relatively high turnover among Unitree’s core backbone staff.
