Pros

Since starting to work at BetterUp I have significantly changed my life around for the better. I came into the organization burnt out and in hyper stress mode. From the help of my BetterUp coach, which all employees get free access to, I learned to manage my stress and be more authentic and compassionate. I worked with a nutritionist to completely cut out coffee and get natural energy from foods (which is also a free benefit from BetterUp) The people I have met here really get me and I learn so much from their leadership and intentionality. Our Co-founders, Eddie and Alexi, are incredible and have chosen a leadership team that is diverse, conscious, and caring. Shout out to Duke, Karen, Ron, Gaurav, Tanisha and so many more who make BetterUp a special place to work!

Cons

It is a startup. You have to be ready to work at a start-up. My coach helps me set boundaries and speak my needs when my workload gets to be too much. When you start at BetterUp in the orientation they let you know that work-life balance is important and encourage strong boundary setting. It is also a group of very highly educated and motivated people - that can sometimes be intimidating but the benefits of that network and knowledge is so valuable.

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.
