      Good people, but…

      Pros

      Great teams, some good perks (no meeting Fridays and every other Friday off), meaningful mission. People care about what they do and look out for each other. Room for improvement, but an accepting workplace overall.

      Cons

      Lots of turnover + swirl, recent attrition, lack of clear direction + organization, low morale — hopefully it’s just a phase, but the last 2 years have been especially rough.

      Great Mission, Leadership/Vision Struggles

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mission: The mission is wonderful and attracts coworkers who are deeply passionate about the space. Everyone is very friendly. Impact: The app has incredible strong brand presence, people will learn you work for Headspace and start telling you how impactful the app has been in their lives. Mind Days: every other Friday is off. 10/10 benefit, is a major reason for retention I’m sure.

      Cons

      Below Market Rate Salaries: Like many places with strong missions, management can get away with paying low salaries because people want to work at Headspace Product Leadership: No strong higher level direction. I think there is fear to “tarnish the brand” so hesitant to commit. Often abruptly dropping projects and changing directions… until the next one
