Pros

In my career I've had the opportunity to work at companies with deep pockets and rocket ship trajectories that didn't have a lot to offer the world. Headspace is such a refreshing change because the work we do actually helps people on a daily basis. Being able to anchor in that mission helps get through the bad days, and feels incredibly rewarding on the good ones. Feels like we're heading towards something really special here. Also a huge fan of mind days and the really thoughtful benefits package.

Cons

Lots of post-merger shuffling (getting better); compensation not terribly competitive vs. other tech companies (which can make it difficult to hire); standard resourcing challenges common among non-FAANG companies

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
