Pros

I had an incredible growth experience at this company. It attracts a lot of diverse and talented people. Amazing brand and a fun product to work on. Generous work/life balance. Kind people. I had two managers while I was there that were incredibly kind and helpful. I always had teams that were very collaborative and understanding.

Cons

Lots of growing pains over the last several years. Many bad decisions. Slow to build and slow to experiment. Often promote lowest preformers. But they still have accomplished so much and will make it through with the new services they are launching.

Pros

Good mission. Globally recognized brand and products. Some incredibly smart and talented people to work with and learn from.

Cons

Was once a great place to work when there was money in the bank and forecasted growth was being realized. Benefits that were once really good have been cut multiple times, Pay was once above average although gaps between certain teams and individuals were questionable. Pay for open roles a lot less than before. Several rounds of layoffs to date with more to come? New CEO, came in and first acts were a layoff and getting rid of a significant benefit called Mind Days which was literally every other Friday off to rest and recharge. You can imagine how beloved that benefit was. This varied between teams but almost zero room for growth. Imagine it’s worse now unless you’re both incredible at your job and you are able to shove your nose very high up into the anuses of the right people across several teams and departments. Product and mission seem to have lost the plot, top heavy org, too many cooks in the kitchen. I will say it’s probably a great opportunity for someone to come in help drive growth. It’s much needed and I imagine you can reap rewards if you can do that.

Pros

Connecting with Employee Resource Groups that shared similar cultural backgrounds and values was great (until it was not offered to PT workers anymore) Enjoy serving the clients I meet with

Cons

I have to echo with what everyone is saying - Since the new CEO has joined, I feel a shift in the culture at Headspace is very unwelcoming and very opposite of what they pose to be. Of course they are corporate, but it is apparent they do not have the values that align with looking out for the wellbeing of their staff and users.
