Pros

Amazing team, and inspiring mission. It is a company actually helps people.

Cons

Headspace has got all new management and it is changing the culture. What once a place that you feel like they really cared about your well being and mental health is starting to become your typical startup culture. There is a constant feeling of not doing enough while being drowned by work. There is a clear lack of empathy from upper management.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I am sorry it had to be via this channel. I certainly agree with your sentiments about the incredible team we have here at Headspace, but I am disheartened to hear that you do not feel supported by management. To support our mission, we have had to grow our team – and I understand that can lead to some growing pains. We know we are not perfect, but regardless of the changes, I want you to feel supported and empowered to speak up about what is and is not working, so we can do our best to adjust. Making the world a healthier, happier place should start first and foremost with our team. If you’d like to chat more about this, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you! Caroline Escalante VP of People Operations

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
