Pros

Our product actually changes people's lives and the narrative in business around the intersection of developing your people, performance and well being. The team here is inspired and inspiring. They're also great to work with and committed to a vision that helps bring BetterUp's mission to as many people as possible. This is a passionate and hard working team. The amount of growth opportunity is huge. There are super talented people to learn from and everyone gets a coach! I feel like I've excelled as a result of working with my coach and it helps me maintain levels of growth and peak performance.

Cons

Selling a new product, in an early market is not easy. Learnings are fast, not every attempt is a slam dunk. Some fail. Pivots and failures are part of the journey. Change is a constant and some of the changes are stressful. The sales cycle is complex, multi stakeholder, long and needs to rooted at the exec level. That makes deals exciting but hard to execute on.

Pros

Nearly 8 years in, and the work still pulls me forward. What keeps me at BetterUp is that the problems are genuinely hard and genuinely worth solving. I came from engineering, so I'm wired to care about infrastructure, not just features, and this is one of the rare places where you can build something foundational and actually see it move metrics, clear escalations, and unblock a whole go-to-market motion. The mission isn't decorative here. I can feel the thread between the work and the outcome. BetterUp also trusts you to figure things out across lanes. I've written SQL, prototyped with AI tools, facilitated workshops, and co-designed vendor strategy, all as a PM, because the culture doesn't penalize curiosity or reaching into adjacent territory. And honestly, some of my closest friendships came out of this place. The people I work with, on engineering, on cross-functional teams, and in peer mentorship, are people I genuinely learn from and, in some cases, people I can't imagine not having in my life. That combination of meaningful infrastructure work, real trust, and people who challenge you and become your people is not easy to find. The benefits span beyond general work-life-balance, if you're curious about something, there's always an open door to learn and contribute. As a woman in tech, I cherish the fact that our colleagues listen to women, and our insight is taken into account instead of just ignored. It's nice to feel safe at work, able to speak your mind freely.

Cons

If you want a boring job, this is not the place for you.
