Pros

BetterUp moves at clock speed while innovating along the way, creating an incredibly dynamic ever-changing, and high-impact work environment. It's a place for those who thrive on challenge and continuous growth—if you're looking to push yourself, this is where you go. The team is full of incredibly smart people, and we are leaning into AI more than most companies I'm seeing. Innovation isn't just encouraged; it's expected and rewarded. This has been the most challenging and fulfilling time in my career. It's a unique environment that not only expects you to drive impact but to work on yourself at the same time. They walk the talk in terms of expecting us to invest in growing ourselves while we grow the company, and our full access to the product suite shows the importance of that investment.

Cons

Like many startups with innovative ideas, we sometimes take on too much, and there’s room to improve how we prioritize. Staying focused and being more diligent about managing sideways work will help us maximize our impact.

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.
