Great company with authentic people

Pros

Headspace is an incredible place to work. Many members of the team believe in the mission and are all-around good people. It is a good amount of work, but it's worthwhile. We recently merged with Ginger and it is an interesting time to be on board. I would recommend Headspace to anyone who is looking to grow their career at a great organization that cares about its members and employees.

Cons

The merger with Ginger is good for the org in the future, right now we are all hard at work to build out the future of the org. Not really a con, just a fact when two awesome orgs merge together.

Great place to start a career

Pros

- flexibility in work/life balance - mission feels good (mostly) - good for starting a career/launching pad into tech but not great if you want to learn from others/grow in a role

Cons

- executive leadership (i.e. intuit hires) are not integrated well with the rest of the company. there's a huge culture mismatch - general lack of interest/motivation amongst tenured headspace employees makes it hard to get things done - employee attrition means re-orgs every quarter and constant onboarding/offboarding - there's almost no one left at the VP level (makes decision making almost impossible) - lack of faith in strategy/direction of the company

Thank you for providing your candid feedback on where we're doing well, and where your experience has highlighted some opportunities for us to take stock. Following our most recent employee engagement survey, leaders have and will be coming together across the org to take critical action around our Top 3 areas of focus of employee feedback (Performance Evaluation, Decision-Making & Communication). Functional leaders (have or) will be setting time to review and hear from their teams regarding key team-level insights on the most important areas that have been identified for action through the survey. We currently have a substantial Executive Leadership Community (40+ Directors, Senior Directors & VPs), which we feel good about for the size of our organization. With your note in mind, rest assured that we will definitely look into this more deeply with our People Business Partners to assess for any gaps here. Again, we appreciate you sharing your insights - and wish you every success in your next chapter. Many thanks SP Simon Perry Senior Director, People Operations + Places
