Pros

I've worked at BetterUp for almost a year and I can honestly say it's the best place I've ever worked - everyone you work with lives the values of the company, and it makes me feel understood and connected, even in a remote environment. Pay is great, lots of work life balance benefits (paid volunteer days, inner work days, company week-long paid holidays, FTO, sick leave, etc.) Option to have different work collaboration space memberships if you're in an area without an office.

Cons

You will hear people say "its the most challenging job I've ever loved" and that couldn't be more true. It's a start up - you have to be a builder and comfortable with ambiguity. It can be overwhelming, but if you take care of yourself and find comfort in the chaos of a start up it's incredibly rewarding. They're still figuring everything out on the path to IPO and things change a lot. You won't join and have the answers and processes built out perfectly here, but this can be a pro and really gives you a lot of autonomy. Really easy to not have work life balance if you don't have boundaries in place for yourself.

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.
