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.
