Incredible organization that lives its mission.

Pros

I come to work and have the privilege of partnering with the most talented, driven, passionate and caring people I've ever worked with. The amount of momentum that the team has built around achieving a BOLD mission is not only impressive, but creates a deeply meaningful employee experience.

Cons

Team and company goals are ambitious and the organization is growing rapidly, so those who wish to "turn off" at 5pm will not thrive in this environment.

Pros

I'm not held here against my will for a cause... I'm paid to do something I actually care about. I see a lot of people on Glassdoor debating the strength of the business model, but I've never seen anyone argue that what BetterUp is trying to do isn't worth doing. I'm a part of a company thats net positive for the world. That alone feels like a feat in 2026. AND I'm getting paid well. No "mission discount".

Cons

This isn't a money-growing-on-trees unicorn startup from 2018. This business model is hard. We're selling human potential development when most companies are trying to figure out how to replace humans with AI. Its not easy but I think its kind of important... A lot of people experience being overwhelmed here. Thats real. It happens enough that clearly the culture is playing a role. Every company has its own version of crazy. My advice to people thinking about working here: ask direct questions in your interviews to figure out if you're okay with Betterup's kind of crazy. You'll get honest answers. After 3+ years I've genuinely grown to love it
