Pros

- Typical startup perks like free lunch, unlimited vacation,snacks - Rich and Andy, but they need to loose their C-Level advisers - The mission - The brand history, but not the brand direction

Cons

- Too much turnover at EVERY level and no plan to replace those leaving or fix the reasons why people are leaving means more work is left for those left behind which means more people quit. Which leads to more people quitting. VPs are quitting or getting fired, Managers, ICs, everyone. - Poor hiring has cost Headspace the majority of it's good workers. Those left behind aren’t the best or most productive or passionate ones. - The office is empty. People are out sick or working from home. Its clear they are really interviewing. Which is bad for morale for those that want to stay. - Growth has stopped and Headspace is no longer the market leader. There isn't a plan to address this. - No trust in the leadership or direction. People are fired and no reasons are given. This is not a secure place to work and this is driving some people to look for other jobs. - The mission is grand and worthy but Headspace isn’t the right company achieve it right now. The leadership can’t even keep their own team happy. - Constant reshuffle of teams, seating, priorities is a distraction from the rudderlessness of this ship

Pros

The working environment is very good. You don't really feel stressed and people care how you feel.

Cons

A lot of miscommunication between management. The company grew very fast and it came with some pain.
