Headspace reviews

More Headspace employees need to embrace change and innovation. Everyone has their own experience and all should be considered as valid but *for me* these negative reviews sound far worse than the reality of working here, which is a pro but the con is feeling toxicity behind closed doors. We have a higher bar of expectations working at a mental health company and that’s a good thing to drive positive change, however it’s important to remember this is still a business. Companies now need to be scalable and profitable to survive. The mission and profitability aren’t mutually exclusive. They can’t be. And Al must be embraced to improve this industry. If you aren’t happy or no longer feel aligned here, if you’re burned out and have had a bad experience, please do what you can to find more happiness for yourself somewhere else and give room for people to join who want to be here, who believe in what we’re doing and the direction we’re going. Why do people blame the new CEO on a round of layoffs at the beginning of his tenure when layoffs happened multiple times leading up to it?

Such a disconnect between executives/directors with the care team. Over the last few years, there has been a big decline around actually feeling valued as a coach to the company and a sharp increase of feeling on edge with more layoffs and changes. The experience of coaches has not been taken into account as it had been in the past, especially prior to the merger of Ginger with Headspace, and it has been heartbreaking to see the change from a people first business to a profits first business. AI has its uses, but it is dangerous to add that into a space that deals with mental health where humans come onto the platform often wanting help around meaningful connections with other humans. The dream and vision that was once had in the culture of this company has been lost in the haze of profit driven choices. Where there once had been an opportunity to innovate and create something new, the choice has become clear that the company is just listening to competitors to steer the ship.
