Pros

Opportunity for impacting others - The mission to help __others__ is an active part of daily conversations, prioritization, and long term strategic planning. - The company values are __how__ the mission is brought to life and the cultural pillars by which BetterUp lives and breathes. - Hearing from our actual members and coaches the impact that BetterUp has had on them both personally and professionally __never__ gets old and continues to motivate me each and every day. Opportunity for individual growth - Fast paced startup with new opportunities to learn and grow every single day. - Challenging work environment blazing new trails that have not been done before. - The opportunities for innerwork are just as challenging and impactful as the challenging outterwork. Environment of engineering craftsmanship - Remote-first agile software development teams optimized for synchronous collaboration and heads down time to unlock flow. - DNA of continuous improvement, continuous integration, and continuous deployment to iterate quickly and improve with each cycle - No red tape for releases. Everyone is empowered and expected to own their outcomes, and empowered to cross functional and codebases to get things done.

Cons

Every one of the pros listed above, could be considered a con for someone. There is __no__ company that is perfect for everyone. - Remote first team requires strong skills in self management and over-communication - Intersection of behavioral science, technology, and human interventions is a complex ecosystem that is challenging to optimize for all sides. - Blazing new trails requires a strong tolerance for ambiguity. - Be comfortable being uncomfortable. Every milestone of company growth essentially creates a __new__ company.

Pros

Working at BetterUp has been a fantastic experience for me professionally and personally. We are determined to better the lives of professionals everywhere. With this important mission, it is imperative that the company treat its own employees well and show care for their development. Luckily, this is the case with BetterUp! Everyone seems to be unified in their connection to the mission, there is a respect for work-life balance, and management truly cares about its employees.

Cons

No real cons. I have seen company-wide transparency improve during my time working here and am very happy to be where I am.
