Pros

I joined BU a few months ago as a marketer and couldn’t have been happier with my decision. Company hits the right notes on mission, product, leadership, culture and a healthy , growing business which has helped it weather the recent market softness well. BU is in the business of helping others grow with the power of behavioral science and org psychology -and they bring all that thinking to how they run the company as well. We don’t just talk ‘superficial’ values and behaviors as most companies do - but truly spend time understanding their meaning and learning how to apply them. Tremendous focus on personal and professional development (Hint: we all get out a coach ). Remote first culture with some travel for offsites and professional development which helps in building the right camaraderie and team bonding Love the benefits and perks. Strong competitive salary. Tremendous learning opportunities. Chance to learn from the best management scientists and leaders out there. Lots of focus on accountability and ownership which is the best way to grow as a professional. No politics and a very high degree of transparency

Cons

Fast growth does bring a certain degree of intensity and adjusting to changing priorities which is typical of every late stage startup out there.

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.
