Best job I’ve ever had

Pros

- BetterUp hires some of the most incredibly talented people I’ve ever worked with. The environment encourages you to learn and grow and get better at your job and I love that - Amazing benefits. Unlimited PTO, all federal holidays, inner work days, 2 week long paid company holidays during July 4th and Christmas, learning stipend, health and wellness reimbursement, WeWork membership etc. It’s the first place I’ve worked where I don’t feel guilty for taking time off because the environment encourages it. - Some consider this a con but the work is challenging. It’s not a sit back and relax work from home job. I think this is a pro. You work with some of the best and the mission is big, and it’s still a start up. You have to want the challenge to be happy here.

Cons

- A lot of change and turmoil over the last year or so. Changing departments, lay offs, changing leadership due to company restructure and macroeconomic climate. - There’s a lot of work to be done, it seems this is true no matter what role you hold. You have to hold strict boundaries for your personal time and when to log off. - No 401k match

Pros

Good benefits, excellent pay, meaningful product (coaching), and the company will help you grow and find your work-life-balance. - You will always be learning something new based on new unique challenges - The product/company goals are always public and clearly defined for you to get behind (sometimes it changes but it's obvious). - Salary is great - Benefits are great - Unlimited PTO is real

Cons

Disorganized middle management, unrealistic reviews, understaffed for the challenges ahead, one product/contract away from the next layoff, and VC/Stakeholder driven (top down). - Understandably there are competing agendas across the different domains and it shows. You'll face challenges here of threading the needle. - Upward promotions are there but its very stagnant based on current staffing and the strict review structure - you have to over invest but that is a risk as it's no guarantee. - This is a very VC driven company with last minute product changes coming from the very top and with no input from the teams. This is a clear reflection of the CEO and it has led to numerous failed attempts at launching the "next big bet". - If you're an engineer you need to keep boundaries and stick to them otherwise they will use you to the last drop and put you away wet.
