Pros

Best people I've ever worked with; everyone super high in IQ and emotional intelligence too, high authenticity and diversity Fast-paced and challenging, learn something new every day - but in a safe space Genuinely awesome high performance culture - work hard, play hard - prioritise being your best self at home to bring your best self to work Incredible products and rapid innovation making a massive difference

Cons

The pace and level of challenge isn't right for everyone, you need to thrive in a high performance culture which is evolving rapidly, however there are plenty of opportunities to 'do the work' on yourself with your coach. If you're willing and energised by learning and being your best self, then it will be the easiest place you've ever worked. But if you're not one that thrives in ambiguity, or you don't really dig feedback and hard work, then BetterUp may not be the right spot for you.

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.
