Headspace reviews

I was one of the original employees dumb enough to travell to the States. The founder, Rich, has been on again, off again as ceo four times by my count. Each investor learns he's a mean, spoiled little rich kid, and incompetent. Then they seem to forget, or sell off due to weird family issues. The Company portrays Andy as a saviour, former monk, but reality is a bit boring. He was a monk for a bit and a circus performer for 10 years. They are both performers. I've overheard how the founders talk to and about other employees, investors, partners we sell with, and former employees. I heard the C word more times than anyone should, plans to fire an amazing mate while his wife was undergoing chemo, vendettas against former investors and managers, and had to fight to keep my stock. Just yuck. Too many of us bought in to the promise. I came to their defence, mostly Andy's, to save the mission. What a mistake.

•New VPs and C-Levels coming in and out the door. Strongest voices enter into the room with no sound reasoning, just with the "loudest voice in the room" syndrome •Due to the previous point, the company is on a spiraling down trajectory, with continual cyclical periods where we work to achieve something that failed miserably 1.5 years ago •Certain leaders are emotionally abusive, creating a work environment that feels truly unsafe •User churn continues to grow as users realize there is little to no value in the app, and we have already lost most of our interested base of users to other competitors such as Insight Timer and Calm •Good work isn't appreciated, instead there is strong nepotism and favoritism towards the select few in the room •Sexism as you move towards VP and C-Level •Leaders expect contributors to churn out work until leading to complete burn-out
