BetterUp reviews

The biggest con is that the company pro rata the hourly pay for coaches. Coaching is run by intelligence and compassion. Whether the session is 30 minutes or 45 minutes, the effort taken by the coach is the same. I feel the contract stating the pay and providing a pro rata pay is not being transparent.

Where should I begin? BetterUp is the most chaotic and "culty" place that I've worked at. - Toxic culture from the top. The leadership has completely lost touch for years. The CEO Alexi is a bully and only surrounds himself with "Yes" people. He leads by fear and openly berates or mocks employees. Anyone who disagreed with him got shown the door. Yet he blames everyone else for the problems. You are either part of the "Alexi crew" or you are not. - It is not a tech company. Period. As much as they want you to believe they are, they aren't. They sell a tech-enabled service at its most basic form and failed to innovate for years, despite sitting on a wealth of consumer data. - With all the flashy C-suite titles, VPs, Prince Harry, celebrities and expensive events, you can piece together that this company is only good for marketing and branding, and care more about its brand than building a business that delivers value. - You are likely vastly underpaid because they won't tell you how much your stock options are truly worth. - The product roadmap is a joke. Your job is to translate Alexi's ideas into a believable "roadmap" and sell it to customers before you build a functioning product. That or work on any Alexi's pet project. And it changes every 3 months. P.S. good luck figuring out how much your stock options are worth if you join the company or what the financial outlooks are. :)
