Pros

-- Endless opportunities to grow in your skillset and understanding -- Company culture rooted in compassion -- Empathetic Leadership -- GREAT BENEFITS! seriously... if you're trying to start a family, or currently have one, BetterUp is especially incredible! -- Flexible Time off AND Inner Work Days are GREAT!

Cons

-- Long Days most of the time.. I mean, it's a startup.. -- Policies and Procedures are still being created, so if you're a person who needs a lot of structure to follow, this environment could be difficult.

Pros

- Caring, compassionate, and motivated colleagues - Seeing your work further our mission of giving our users greater purpose, clarity, and passion in their lives. - Seeing our hard work make it to the product and in user's hands quickly

Cons

- Company is growing and hitting a few bumps in the road along the way. - It can be difficult juggling everything that is going on. There is some expectation that you contribute to future direction, which is actually a great thing, but it is a challenge to do the job you specialize in and also juggle concepts and ideas around future direction and what others are working on.

Pros

BetterUp is one the best companies that I’ve ever worked for. Amazing teammates who are super smart and dedicated to helping others. Lots of opportunities for personal and professional growth. Even with everything going on in the world, I still look forward to working every day because we’re doing something really important to help people, particularly now. There’s been a lot of change at the company this year, including layoffs and some executive departures, which is never fun, but because of these tough changes we’re in a better position than ever before to enter our next phase of growth. I’ve been really impressed with the thoughtfulness and transparency with which all these changes were approached and communicated. I think our leadership team has done a good job of meeting the challenges we’ve faced as a company and making tough decisions that set BetterUp up for long term success.

Cons

We work really hard. BetterUp has sometimes hired people because they’re passionate about our mission and are really nice, but who don’t actually perform in their job. But they’ve gotten better about this lately.
