Pros

I joined BU a few months ago as a marketer and couldn’t have been happier with my decision. Company hits the right notes on mission, product, leadership, culture and a healthy , growing business which has helped it weather the recent market softness well. BU is in the business of helping others grow with the power of behavioral science and org psychology -and they bring all that thinking to how they run the company as well. We don’t just talk ‘superficial’ values and behaviors as most companies do - but truly spend time understanding their meaning and learning how to apply them. Tremendous focus on personal and professional development (Hint: we all get out a coach ). Remote first culture with some travel for offsites and professional development which helps in building the right camaraderie and team bonding Love the benefits and perks. Strong competitive salary. Tremendous learning opportunities. Chance to learn from the best management scientists and leaders out there. Lots of focus on accountability and ownership which is the best way to grow as a professional. No politics and a very high degree of transparency

Cons

Fast growth does bring a certain degree of intensity and adjusting to changing priorities which is typical of every late stage startup out there.

Pros

This is the first role in my career where I am selling a product that I can see is changing people's lives in a massively beneficial way. I love having conversations around coaching and what it can do to drive change for people and the businesses that we partner with. The culture, opportunities for growth, benefits, and compensation are some of the best I have ever seen from a Saas organization as well. I have an incredibly supportive leadership team that - specifically my AVP who I attribute much of my success to. The thing I enjoy the most is the amount of empathetic humans in the organization. My wedding took place this past summer and the team was so accommodating during a stressful time, truly forever grateful to them for their guidance and leadership.

Cons

The reality is even with the amount of success BetterUp has seen we are still proving out a new category to the market. With that comes a lot of changes and experimenting new things to see what works and what doesn't. It truly is a challenge and on the AE side it means you have to develop new strategies to get into accounts and there isn't a playbook that is handed to you that you can follow to find success. Things are still being built out and defined, you have to put in a lot of hard work to be successful here. There are a lot of people that find success and to me over the last almost year and a half the pros vastly have outweighed any cons.
