Pros

The two biggest pros for me: 1. Working on problems to solve for accessibility to mental healthcare 2. Minddays -- Every other Friday Headspace employees have off to take care of our mind

Cons

The two biggest cons for me: 1. In the past few years, the sense of security is extremely unstable. Two rounds of layoffs have resulted in a 27% reduction in the company with many quiet layoffs occurring in the past year. 2. There's a lack of overall strategy and prioritization from leadership. Even given the reduction in workforce, the amount of work expected from ICs has not changed. So we have to cover all the work that we had teammates to do.

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
