Toxic Culture & Favoritism

Pros

Flexible, mission driven, great brand and marketing.

Cons

Poor leadership who are always looking to take credit or place blame. Family obligations are looked at as an excuse. Product team bullies other teams and are treated as if they can’t do anything wrong.

Great Mission, BUT…

Pros

Headspace has a great mission and is a world renowned brand that attracts a ton of talent. The company offers a great deal of flexibility, including every other Friday off. Additional pro is the new CEO

Cons

But… leadership is lackluster at best and DEIB is Performative. Overall, the environment is toxic and an unsafe space for BIPOC, especially black women. If your work style doesn’t adhere to white Eurocentric norms, or if you’re not palatable enough, the microaggressions and non-verbal cues that you don’t belong will drive you to take or seriously consider a leave of absence in order to preserve your own sanity and mental health (the irony!). You will be passively aggressively reprimanded. The population of black women who have voluntarily resigned and/or been “managed out” for having a different work or communication styles while actually doing their jobs is mind-blowing. Meanwhile white counterparts and executives get to run a muck and underperform with little to no consequences. The current executives are not the right leaders for Headspace and do not have a vision or the expertise to execute and take the company forward. They are disconnected.

Cons

Low pay Inconsistent decision-making Unethical behaviors in upper management Low autonomy and high micromanaging Give as much time and attention to maintaining the mental health of employees as you do to DEI
