      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Passionate, talented and approachable group of individuals - Detailed interview process - Training is robust but gives insight on all aspects of the business

      Cons

      Individuals must be willing to be more than their role. Open to thoughtful discussions, flexibility in wearing multiple hats and eager to learn.

      Meaningful and challenging work with a fantastic team

      Chief technology officer (cto)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity for impacting others - The mission to help __others__ is an active part of daily conversations, prioritization, and long term strategic planning. - The company values are __how__ the mission is brought to life and the cultural pillars by which BetterUp lives and breathes. - Hearing from our actual members and coaches the impact that BetterUp has had on them both personally and professionally __never__ gets old and continues to motivate me each and every day. Opportunity for individual growth - Fast paced startup with new opportunities to learn and grow every single day. - Challenging work environment blazing new trails that have not been done before. - The opportunities for innerwork are just as challenging and impactful as the challenging outterwork. Environment of engineering craftsmanship - Remote-first agile software development teams optimized for synchronous collaboration and heads down time to unlock flow. - DNA of continuous improvement, continuous integration, and continuous deployment to iterate quickly and improve with each cycle - No red tape for releases. Everyone is empowered and expected to own their outcomes, and empowered to cross functional and codebases to get things done.

      Cons

      Every one of the pros listed above, could be considered a con for someone. There is __no__ company that is perfect for everyone. - Remote first team requires strong skills in self management and over-communication - Intersection of behavioral science, technology, and human interventions is a complex ecosystem that is challenging to optimize for all sides. - Blazing new trails requires a strong tolerance for ambiguity. - Be comfortable being uncomfortable. Every milestone of company growth essentially creates a __new__ company.

      High expectations but excellent culture and benefits

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great opportunities to have influence on workstreams. High level of autonomy and accountability. Value-driven culture and a team of people that legitimately care about one another. Work that matters in impacting people's lives.

      Cons

      Moderate level of burnout across all teams due to high expectations. Despite lots of benefits and encouragement of PTO and self-care, this is challenging due to velocity of the company. Things change frequently so if you're looking for predictability or stability, might not be for you.
