Pros

The mission was solid, and the behavioral science team was amazing. The company attracted some great people because of its mission.

Cons

the entire sales organization was a hot disaster. zero leadership and the few sales managers they had were a joke. no experience middle-aged, sis-gender white men who harassed both men and women which I experience first hand almost daily. they required even their most senior AE's to make a certain number of phone calls and emails each day and record their video calls so they could be told everything they do wrong. It was a toxic, uninspired, and painful experience overall. HR was non-existent. They laid off over 60 people in April of 2020 "due to covid" but countless people were pregnant women and many others were amazing longstanding good employees. The CEO was an egomaniac and could make anyone's skin crawl.

Pros

This organization is a dream come true. Imagine what it feels like not to dread going to work. The company is rooted in mindset and behavioral change in the workplace and they practice what they preach. They treat their employees like gold. They just get it!! Make your employees happy and they produce twice the amount of work. BetterUp has 6 core values that they actually practice in every single facet of the company. The care about your mental health - yes your mental health. They want us to be happy! They want to spoil us! It is a dream come true working here. The culture is infectious and positive.

Cons

We are still in start-up mode so there is always change around the corner. It's changing that we all get to weigh in on but change nonetheless. We are building and we are growing.

Pros

I just started at BetterUp recently, and this company is very thorough with making sure you have everything you need — lots of materials that help you understand the product, but also benefit your own personal growth!

Cons

None so far. There are definitely patterns in feedback from other Glassdoor reviews, but nothing that raises a major red flag.
