BetterUp reviews

The whole operation is a shitshow.

At BetterUp, there's an A-team and a B-team. If you're part of the A-team, expect a promotion every year. B-team? You're not working hard enough. A quick look at the diversity of the leadership team will tell you al you need to know. The amount of leaders at the company continues to grow. VPs lead teams of 5-6 , a director, maybe 1-3. You would think this would create alignment amongst teams, yet its the most unorganized organization I've been with. I believe the primary culprit is that leaders are promoted for their agreeableness with the executive team. Virtually every decision is made top-down with no pushback from any leader. This results in slow execution, dropped balls and overall inefficiencies. Compound this problem with the fact that company level goals change quarterly and no strategy or alignment is provided by leadership to ensure execution -- that's on the IC to figure out.
