Pros

Listen, nobody's perfect. No company is doing everything that every employee thinks they should be doing. That's just life. The same goes for Headspace. Of course the list of pros and cons won't apply on every topic, but overall I feel like employees here truly love what they do and believe in the Headspace mission. -Genuine people who believe in our mission (my VP is top notch and our Circle is one of the most well-functioning at the company) -Meditation opportunity twice/day -Beautiful office environment/amenities -Can share unique ideas without feeling stupid or dismissed

Cons

-Office politics/growing pains/policy flip flops because the Management Team is still 'trying to figure out what kind of company we are' -Communication breakdown between Circles and the Management Team -Open to dialogue on diversity/gender challenges in the workplace, but nothing seems to come of those discussions

Pros

-they offer great resources for members to utilize -continued education to sharpen your coaching skills

Cons

-there have been so many changes and expectations that are frustrating to navigate -they expect way too much for so little pay and no benefits -this role is so taxing on your own mental health... many of the members that you see aren't a good fit for coaching, so you're also filtering a lot of members for therapy and navigate really heavy mental health conversations that aren't within the scope of coaching -feedback isn't delivered live, it's all put in a spreadsheet that's clearly input by automation
