BetterUp reviews

Mind f+ck. Total disaster. Toxic. Toxic. Toxic. If you want to work somewhere they promise you growth, personal and professional development, “clarity, purpose and passion” but mean none of those things then this is the place for you. Women, pay special attention, the founders will add you to the website (because they want more women on the website) but you will be a pawn in their game. Do not work here. The founders hire people with experience and discredit that experience because it lacks a level of “craftsmanship”. There is a reason successful companies succeed and start-ups scale. But this company believes they can and should do everything in a different and unique way that will have you inventing and reinventing things over and over again. Nothing is ever good enough. Salespeople, please do not work here. There is no respect for your role. The general belief is that the product is so good it should sell itself. And it’s always “wartime” so you’ll need to work the hardest you’ve ever worked in your career.

Work at BetterUp requires tenacity, resilience and the ability to find clarity within ambiguity. It requires a proactive, self-starter mindset and the ability to pull up from the details. In my tenure, I've had I've worked through moments where I felt super supported and others where I needed to chart a new path or advocate for myself to join a new team or shape a new role for myself. If you feel excited and energized by the flexibility to chart your own path, learn skills you might not have imagined you were capable of and build something from nothing, this is the right place for you. If this makes you uncomfortable, and you're seeking a role that's clearly defined it may not be the right fit.
