Pros

- Mission: I have been a Headspace for nearly 3 years now, and I can safely say with my tenure and experience, it has been an incredible journey so far, one that I feel fortunate to be a part of, no matter the ups or the downs. To work for a company with a mission to improve the health and happiness of the world, as ambitious as it is, is not a joke and I feel beyond fortunate to know that all the work we do contributes towards bringing the practice of meditation to as many people as possible. - Friends - I have made life long friends over the last few years, and learn from my colleagues every day. The people here are kind, smart and always willing to go the extra mile. You'll also laugh. A lot. - Career progression - I have held several roles within the company over my time here, settling on my latest one over a year ago having joined the company not really sure what my long term goal was. I personally could not feel more fulfilled, fired up, or excited to learn more. Management have only shown me that if you are someone that is willing to work hard, add value and show with humility how you can contribute to a fast growing company, you will be rewarded. - Culture: One thing I value above all is that we are encouraged to walk the walk and be ourselves at Headspace. We are allowed to have open and honest conversations, and challenge ideas if we don't agree. This comes right from the top of the company. It's awesome and I don't know many others who get to work in a culture like that.

Cons

I don't have any - it's a fast growing company, which is exciting but of course brings the usual challenges as teams grow and scale, none of which is new. Don't let that put you off.

Much Room to Grow

Pros

Founders are awesome and seem to have the best intentions. Free lunch, snacks, and coffee. Group meditations scheduled into the work day. Other cool startup-y perks.

Cons

No properly defined business structure from the beginning seems to be the present day downfall of this company's inner workings. The team seems largely made up of people who are passive aggressive and they create unnecessary drama. Effective communication is key but is nowhere to be found in this place. There is great talent within the team but it's under utilized due to poor management and lack of communication. Little room for professional growth.

Pros

Genuinely helping people to become healthier and happier Mission comes above everything. Smart, capable, open people and culture. Ambitious company.

Cons

Trying to offer a new habit in society is tough : ) Everyone is still working a lot of stuff out, but I think this is fun - it's a start up in a very new category
