Pros

- BetterUp hires some of the most incredibly talented people I’ve ever worked with. The environment encourages you to learn and grow and get better at your job and I love that - Amazing benefits. Unlimited PTO, all federal holidays, inner work days, 2 week long paid company holidays during July 4th and Christmas, learning stipend, health and wellness reimbursement, WeWork membership etc. It’s the first place I’ve worked where I don’t feel guilty for taking time off because the environment encourages it. - Some consider this a con but the work is challenging. It’s not a sit back and relax work from home job. I think this is a pro. You work with some of the best and the mission is big, and it’s still a start up. You have to want the challenge to be happy here.

Cons

- A lot of change and turmoil over the last year or so. Changing departments, lay offs, changing leadership due to company restructure and macroeconomic climate. - There’s a lot of work to be done, it seems this is true no matter what role you hold. You have to hold strict boundaries for your personal time and when to log off. - No 401k match

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.
