Pros

I had really high expectations coming into BetterUp based on everything I heard and researched, and it hasn't disappointed. Great, super smart, group of people you can learn from and enjoy collaborating with. A genuine culture you can believe in, and values that I'm seeing play out everyday, from the top down. BetterUp feels really agile, innovative and transparent, helped by the fact we use our own technology internally. Makes you feel very connected to the company, and able to effect change. If I had any skepticism coming in, it's been put aside as I see us 'eat our own dog food'. Having customers feel the same, certainly makes the work very rewarding. Very excited by our trajectory, and seeing the tech/industry recognition as a result.

Cons

In a fast growth business, change is the only constant. You have to be willing and comfortable adapting, and have faith that leadership will manage the growth responsibly. So far that seems to be the case. I'm sure things will pop up that will be a cause of frustration, but nothing I've experienced that not's insurmountable.

Pros

I've really enjoyed my time at BetterUp. There is never a shortage of ways to make a real impact on the business. The services we provide to our members truly makes an impact and this makes it feel like we are all working towards a meaningful goal. There is a really special culture here at BetterUp. Everyone I work with is extraordinarily motivated and hard working. This makes working in large cross team projects really rewarding. Ultimately although often the work can be tough, I feel that leadership makes a really conscious effort to help everyone maintain their well-being while working in the realities of a late stage startup. Personally BetterUp is a great fit for me as I get to balance rewarding work with a company that I feel truly cares.

Cons

As with any Startup everything at BetterUp moves fast. To succeed you have to be willing to navigate ambiguous situations and truly have an owner mindset. So many of my projects have had incredibly vague scopes and I feel that I am given a huge amount of decision latitude. I personally really enjoy this level of freedom and the ability to shape large initiatives that impact our business, but it can be overwhelming for others. If you are looking for a job where you have a well defined and stable role than you might not enjoy a role at BetterUp.
