Pros
BetterUp's coaching creates incredible impact in peoples' daily lives. The leadership is generally caring, supportive, and thoughtful. The talent caliber is very high and I appreciate working with my colleagues. Despite being remote-first, the company invests in regular in-person events and meetings to connect with colleagues. While frequent changes make working here difficult, they are often necessary changes and that gives me confidence that our leaders are unafraid to make difficult decisions for the company. The company's renewed focus in leveraging BetterUp's products with its own people will ultimately improve our organizational outcomes as well as our products.
Cons
There's a lot of change at BetterUp and that's both a feature and a bug. Changes due to shifts in strategy, leadership turnover, and re-orgs mean you really only have a few months to accomplish something. As a result, short-term fixes take priority over long-term investments and it always feels like there is something breaking. From a career perspective, pathing is often unclear due to the constant changes. It's difficult to plan a career when you'll likely move to a new team or new leader in the next 6 months.
