Pros

BetterUp is a unique and inspiring place to work, filled with passionate, talented people who are deeply committed to the company's mission. There is immense potential, and the impact we’re making with customers is truly inspiring. What makes BetterUp stand out is the people. My experience is everyone here stays on their edge, is supportive, and invested in the overall and individual success. The culture is collaborative, and there’s a genuine effort to help each other grow. Additionally, the company prioritizes work-life balance with generous time off like summer and winter breaks, holidays, and "Inner Work" days.

Cons

It is a challenging yet rewarding place to work. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re passionate about personal growth and willing to contribute to a world-changing mission, this could be the perfect fit for you. The growth opportunities are second to none. There’s a fair amount of ambiguity and challenging problems to solve. However, I find the work to be sustainable and even energizing.

Pros

Nearly 8 years in, and the work still pulls me forward. What keeps me at BetterUp is that the problems are genuinely hard and genuinely worth solving. I came from engineering, so I'm wired to care about infrastructure, not just features, and this is one of the rare places where you can build something foundational and actually see it move metrics, clear escalations, and unblock a whole go-to-market motion. The mission isn't decorative here. I can feel the thread between the work and the outcome. BetterUp also trusts you to figure things out across lanes. I've written SQL, prototyped with AI tools, facilitated workshops, and co-designed vendor strategy, all as a PM, because the culture doesn't penalize curiosity or reaching into adjacent territory. And honestly, some of my closest friendships came out of this place. The people I work with, on engineering, on cross-functional teams, and in peer mentorship, are people I genuinely learn from and, in some cases, people I can't imagine not having in my life. That combination of meaningful infrastructure work, real trust, and people who challenge you and become your people is not easy to find. The benefits span beyond general work-life-balance, if you're curious about something, there's always an open door to learn and contribute. As a woman in tech, I cherish the fact that our colleagues listen to women, and our insight is taken into account instead of just ignored. It's nice to feel safe at work, able to speak your mind freely.

Cons

If you want a boring job, this is not the place for you.
