Pros

- The best people you'll ever work with - High expectations for performance, accountability and ideation (in the best way, if you're game for it!) - Coach access is life changing

Cons

- There is a lot to do and no one will force you to say NO to work. Meaning, if you have the focus/self-motivation to manage your plate effectively and not worry about FOMO, and importantly have honest conversations with your manager, you will thrive. If you struggle with these things, you will run into a never-ending list of work, projects, etc. - There is always something to do, so if you don't unplug you will run into burn out. To manage this, you need to advocate for yourself, know that your manager has your back and that the company is not just providing lip service when encouraging employees to take time off, talk to manager about workload, etc.

A Company with Heart & Intention

Pros

BetterUp is an incredibly thoughtful organization with heart and intention behind every choice. Everyone here genuinely cares for each person and what we're building. People have a strong ownership mentality and are truly invested in the business. There is a high bar and aggressive goals to hit, and people are working hard. This is a great company for someone who wants to evolve personally and professionally and truly have a hand in the growth of a mission-driven company. I've never worked in a more diverse atmosphere in terms of cultures, personalities and perspectives. People are incredibly intelligent, and passionate. It doesn't feel like a homogenous culture that requires one to "fit in." It's almost an academic environment when it comes to knowledge sharing.

Cons

BetterUp could make more of an effort to hire employees from underrepresented backgrounds.

Pros

BetterUp is a great place to up level your game. Like many companies, your manager can make or break your experience bc there is a high level of expectation on performance. However, it is a great place to work if you are looking to take ownership over your career, are a go-getter and looking to learn more about yourself and how you work. I have met some of the most amazing, talented professionals in my career here. Also, getting unlimited access to our coaching platform has made a huge impact on my life for the better as a professional, mom and person overall!

Cons

Strategy has been changed a lot given the macroeconomic climate, as any other tech company recently and that can affect people in a very real way. If you are not a person that knows how to self-regulate your emotions or over-indexes your importance on work, this company may be too much turbulence for you. Roles, teams and goals will change a good amount and some aren't good at weathering that in purpose for a greater mission.
