BetterUp reviews

I had really high hopes when I started working here because of the culture that was emphasized during my interview process. First, the interview process needs to be streamlined. It took two months to interview and get hired. Second, don't tell people during the recruiting process that you have merit increases, cost of living increases, and give fair market value in pay. That's a bold faced lie. There have not been merit increases in over a year according to people that have worked here longer than I. It's simply just a lie to get people in the door that way. Why trick people into coming here? There are senior leaders on ELT that make hundreds of thousands of dollars who cannot even manage their time properly to make it to meetings. There are senior leaders on ELT who talk down to people in their organizations and threaten PIPs or firing if they are challenged in any way. BU is very toxic in the way they shove their high impact values down your throat, but don't practice them on their own. Be careful who you express your discomfort to or you might be on the chopping block for the next round of layoffs. Our team was cut SIGNIFICANTLY in the August layoffs and those left were forced to take on double the work for no additional compensation. This shows me that there is a lack of understanding around how hard people are working and how burnt out people already are. It shows me that senior leadership does not care about their employees. Nothing stays the same and everything is always changing which basically creates more work. It's the exact opposite of the high impact value of 'do less, deliver more'. If I didn't love the flexibility of working remotely, I would leave this company immediately.

Some of the worst leadership and strategic decision making I have ever seen in my career (and yes - I have worked for several "fast paced" tech companies and had no intention of "coasting"). Fear based, gaslighting, and a loyal little inner circle who unsurprisingly was untouched during the most recent round of layoffs. But I guess they still have enough money to go on a leadership retreat to talk about their "mindset"? The product is positioned and priced as SaaS but that's just not true. Customers are churning left and right in spite of calls to "go big" or "practice imagination". Every positive review you see on here is either done by someone in onboarding or someone in HR (since they clearly aren't listening to current/former employees to solve systemic issues).
