Pros

Leadership team focuses on humans first, employees second with a true desire to see people better off when they exit BetterUp than when they joined. Open culture with feedback mechanisms directly to leaders and accountability to make change. You will learn more here in your first month than the last six months as your previous job.

Cons

The fast pace of a high-growth startup is not for everyone. There is no such thing as "that's not my job". If you are not willing to collaborate, jump in and stretch yourself, as well as take direct candid feedback, this likely isn't the place for you.

Pros

BetterUp practices what they preach and is a unique company that is 100% mission driven. BetterUp has incorporated so many practices that help align all involved while also encouraging employees to grow. One example is the inner work days, a day every other month where employees are encouraged to work on themselves rather than work. It is honestly one of the most honest and enriching workplaces I have ever been.

Cons

Very fast paced and a lot of directions to go in which may not be for all.

Pros

BetterUp as an organization is focused on helping create the future of work and it lives this ethos internally as well. The company encourages personal growth both in and outside of work by providing "inner work" days for self reflection, incentivizing volunteer days, and understanding that working longer doesn't necessarily mean working more effectively. That said employees work hard here and bring a great mix of talent and empathy to the table every day. People at every level of the organization are encouraged to learn and understand the company strategy and how their day to day work fits into that overall picture. BetterUp invests heavily in helping facilitate this understanding through paid training sessions.

Cons

BetterUp is a growth stage startup which has a certain level of risk associated with it. Also there is a good amount of ambiguity in the day to day work so being somebody who is more comfortable getting handed a sheet of instructions then going and implementing it may have a tough time adapting to this culture.
