      A Company That Encourages Personal Growth

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Toxic and a mess

      Pros

      Some really smart and good people who work there, whom you can learn a lot from.

      Cons

      The culture is toxic, but not as toxic as upper management. I have never been somewhere where you are made to feel like you are never good enough. There are so many politics and people scared to stand up against management that the work and people suffer.
