Pros

Great mission on the B2C side

Cons

If you’re in sales don’t expect to get paid on deals you close. The leadership team only cares about their P&L. You are a number and if you’re not in the best light of leadership you will eventually get pushed out.

Pros

Headspace has a very inspiring mission. There are a lot of smart people at the company working hard to grow it and make it the best it can be. If you're passionate about meditation and mental well-being, what could be better than working for a company that is trying to spread meditation across the world? Everyone works hard but I feel like I am given the work/life balance I need.

Cons

There's going to be growing pains, and I think that's what the negative reviews here reflect. I'm glad I didn't let those reviews sway me. I think it helps to have a passion for the product and for meditation, and I wonder if negative reviewers didn't love using Headspace for themselves. Some people seem swamped and burned out. However I haven't felt that way and feel supported to take time off that I need to.
