Pros

- Honest, hard working, and accountable leadership - Incredible subject matter in Behavioral Science and coaching - Most vibrant, authentic, and capable group of humans I've experienced - I learned more about myself at BetterUp vs. any other company - BetterUp is going to continue to do big things - Take the time to learn about this company and the incredible people before being turned away by negative reviews - It's a high performing culture that provides you with coaching. You're presented with business challenges to solve and coaches. What more could you ask for?

Cons

Everything that was an 'inconvenience' or a 'change' was honest growing pains that any other company who is trying to capture a market will go through. BetterUp's leaders are navigating a crazy time in tech and are extremely transparent with the strategy needed to win and enablement around the behaviors at the team and individual level. The behavioral science applied to the culture is incredible. 0 bad things to say about BetterUp. Sometimes people think that it's a place to chill because it's a mental health company and forget it's a start up. Don't go to BetterUp if you want to coast. This place is about growth which is a beautiful and hard thing. It's hard work but so is every startup and it's so worth it. Honestly, the amount of psychological support, coaching, and learning that BetterUp provides is second to none. BetterUp is a place for those with a work ethic, low-ego, and are stimulated by problem solving. Alexi and Eddie are great founders. Incredible Recruiting team led by Ryan Weber who is a phenomenal leader.

Pros

No company is perfect, and Betterup is not perfect, but its hard to imagine a place that is so deeply connected to making a difference in the world that also provides a platform for someone to grow and flourish their career. There are many places to work in the valley, and I've worked in them. They are usually dominated by EGO, Money or thinly valuable products. This company is committed to building products that changes peoples lives , and the executive team and leaders give everything they have to bring that into the world. This doesn't mean this is a place for everyone ,especially for people that are more focused on getting to a place where this doesn't require commitment to becoming a better you. I've read some of the reviews on this site, and it appears correlated with people that didn't realize that you actually have to work and work to grow into the responsibility, freedom, perks and coaching that this company provides. It's a real meritocracy here , all companies have to go through scaling issues, but where there have been challenges is where the company provides direction , gives coaching, encourages but you actually have to perform as well. To be honest, i feel fortunate that we do, so we actually can do something great here. If you want to do something great, come to betterup, else its probably better that someone go work in a place where it doesn't matter whether you show up or not, and where there are a lot of politics. I'm encouraged by all the top talent that is coming here to work because they are looking for real meaning in their life.

Cons

Scaling issues like many companies at this stage but deeply investing and taking the company to the next level.
