Pros

Making a useful contribution during a very difficult time (COVID-19 outbreak). Opportunities for innovation, and career growth within the organization. Incredibly smart group of creative collaborators to work with. Great alignment of talent at management level, finally. WFH during the crisis has been a breath of fresh air.

Cons

Coherence between groups sometimes a challenge.

Amazing company...Glassdoor doesn't do it justice.

Pros

I almost didn't interview with Headspace because of some of the Glassdoor reviews. If I had followed through, I would have missed out on working for an amazing company. Headspace is known globally...but it's a start up. Remember that. It has gone from 50 to 200 employees rather quickly, so there have been & will continue to be growing pains. All I can say is that from what I've experienced, it's a company that is true to its mission: Improve the Health & Happiness of the World. If that sounds cheesy, this probably isn't the place for you because everyone is on board. This is a fantastic company with very talented people. If you're interested in an open position, don't let this site deter you from applying.

Cons

I don't necessarily think you need to have prior experience using Headspace to work here...but let's be real, this is a very purpose-driven company. You should probably download the app & try meditation before you apply.
