Pros

I have grown both as a person and professional through my time here at BetterUp. The fact that we all get a team of personal coaches to help us through the challenges of both life and work has been so transformative for me. More so, working with people who all have access to a coach creates an environment where I truly feel I can be open with my co-workers without judgment and a cool bond that comes from us all being on a personal growth journey. I have been able to take on multiple different roles and learn/accomplish more than I thought I could in such a short amount of time. One of my favorite parts of BetterUp is a process we call the Culture C's where the whole company goes through the data collected by our internal survey which has an almost 100% completion rate. People really care about the culture here and speak up when things aren't working then leadership makes commitments to do better -- and in my tenure here I have been so impressed by how quickly they act on the data. No company is perfect but I'm so glad that the leadership here recognizes that and is accountable!

Cons

Since we are a fast-growing company you kind of have to be comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty. Strategies shift and you have to shift along with it. It can be challenging if you aren't ready for that kind of environment.

Pros

*Extraordinarily meaningful mission to work on human transformation at scale. *Co-workers are A+++ caliber, in smarts and personality. *Commitment to growing with readings, offsites, and self-development (including coaching for all, of course) *Recent leadership across R&D functions shows up with authenticity, experience and confidence. Sets a good tone and makes it more fun for all of us to work on hard problems together.

Cons

*Mission and value alignment with this type of opportunity space means people care about their work as more than a job. This can keep drawing you in, and the organization is still at the size where it feels very possible to change the world based on that one extra hackathon project...

Pros

This is the first role in my career where I am selling a product that I can see is changing people's lives in a massively beneficial way. I love having conversations around coaching and what it can do to drive change for people and the businesses that we partner with. The culture, opportunities for growth, benefits, and compensation are some of the best I have ever seen from a Saas organization as well. I have an incredibly supportive leadership team that - specifically my AVP who I attribute much of my success to. The thing I enjoy the most is the amount of empathetic humans in the organization. My wedding took place this past summer and the team was so accommodating during a stressful time, truly forever grateful to them for their guidance and leadership.

Cons

The reality is even with the amount of success BetterUp has seen we are still proving out a new category to the market. With that comes a lot of changes and experimenting new things to see what works and what doesn't. It truly is a challenge and on the AE side it means you have to develop new strategies to get into accounts and there isn't a playbook that is handed to you that you can follow to find success. Things are still being built out and defined, you have to put in a lot of hard work to be successful here. There are a lot of people that find success and to me over the last almost year and a half the pros vastly have outweighed any cons.
