Pros

BetterUp is one the best companies that I’ve ever worked for. Amazing teammates who are super smart and dedicated to helping others. Lots of opportunities for personal and professional growth. Even with everything going on in the world, I still look forward to working every day because we’re doing something really important to help people, particularly now. There’s been a lot of change at the company this year, including layoffs and some executive departures, which is never fun, but because of these tough changes we’re in a better position than ever before to enter our next phase of growth. I’ve been really impressed with the thoughtfulness and transparency with which all these changes were approached and communicated. I think our leadership team has done a good job of meeting the challenges we’ve faced as a company and making tough decisions that set BetterUp up for long term success.

Cons

We work really hard. BetterUp has sometimes hired people because they’re passionate about our mission and are really nice, but who don’t actually perform in their job. But they’ve gotten better about this lately.

Pros

BetterUp has incredibly experienced and inspirational leadership that individual contributors can learn a lot from. These leaders truly care about the well being of the people who work for them, whether it is through giving them access to coaching sessions, stipends to use for any activity that involves learning, and several "inner work" days each year to be used in reflection. The work is also very motivating as you are helping to bring a high-quality offering to more individuals to help them achieve meaning too. I have a tremendous amount of respect for BetterUp and truly enjoyed working there. I would recommend it to anyone in any role.

Cons

Sometimes it can be tough to quantify the impact of the product, making it a little less motivating. When I left, the company had grown very rapidly, and needed to spend some time establishing repeatable processes. I think this is something they have done well since I left.
