BetterUp reviews

I know when I'm reading these types of reviews, it makes me skeptical when folks say, "nothing I can think of," or "this place is a dream come true." I get it — the obvious thought is... well, something's got to be off. Truthfully, I'm more than prepared to speak my truth about professional experiences, even if that means I feel I've made a mistake trusting an organization or perhaps feel like I've been sold an experience that isn't reality. Here's the thing... I've only been here a short time, and I simply have no reason to doubt that BetterUp is actually doing what they say they will: delivering change at scale to improving individual resilience, adaptability, and effectiveness. What I can say is this: this is the most vulnerable, thoughtful, human-centered hiring and onboarding experience I've had at a company... period. And this is coming from someone who prides herself in seeking mission-driven, values-oriented organizations. Even me, with all of my research, homework, and extra-credit interviews... even I've gotten it wrong at times. But BetterUp has their attention focused on the right things. The things that make a COMMUNITY, not just an organization. The purpose of our product is to help folks flourish in every aspect of their lives so they can show up to work as their best selves. This is the cornerstone and the essence of who we are. There is ownership here. We are asked to be citizens first, before our role. The values shared here are the ones you'd hope we are all bound to and seek to embody in our cities, schools, and neighborhoods. Treating ourselves and our colleagues with respect is fundamental! Any modicum of success we hope to have starts there, and I believe wholeheartedly that folks who join this company fundamentally share the desire to live more meaningful, vibrant lives with greater clarity, purpose, and passion. So no, no cons yet. I'm just really excited to see what my next chapter here holds.

Way too many to list. Overwhelmingly, it has to be the CEO and COO. Their lack of strategy coupled with their disregard for people is in complete contradiction to what BetterUp claims to represent. Life is way too short to work at a place like BetterUp. You'll get sold a lot of "pie in the sky" promises when interviewing, only to quickly learn that it's all a mirage. All one needs to do is look at how many people have left over the last two years , and what those individuals are doing now at other companies.
