BetterUp reviews

You are expected to "work like a CEO" and it is not a joke. Many people are experiencing continuous burn out cycles and it is ignored. Working through vacations, inner works days and on nights and weekend is commonplace here. There is an unspoken culture that you aren't committed if express your concerns. It appears that BetterUp thinks this is okay behavior because they are a startup running lean and because we have the benefit of having a coach. I honestly believe that top leaders may just be unaware of the damage it's causing on employees' lives and used to working like CEOs themselves. When asked, "would you recommend BetterUp to a friend?" I want to say yes but the reality is if you have a family or needs to met outside of work, this may not be the best place for you. Hopefully it one day will be since people inside care about making this a better place to be.

the downside is there seems to be no clear strategy, morale is low, and the layoffs hurt us. decisions appear ego-driven and transparency depends on whether your in managements circle of friends/family that get shuffled around to different roles, at the cost of others. managers gaslight and undermine employees because they are in over their heads. things have been going downhill since the beginning of this year but there still is potential to be so much better. new management and fresh ideas needed
