Pros

I had really high expectations coming into BetterUp based on everything I heard and researched, and it hasn't disappointed. Great, super smart, group of people you can learn from and enjoy collaborating with. A genuine culture you can believe in, and values that I'm seeing play out everyday, from the top down. BetterUp feels really agile, innovative and transparent, helped by the fact we use our own technology internally. Makes you feel very connected to the company, and able to effect change. If I had any skepticism coming in, it's been put aside as I see us 'eat our own dog food'. Having customers feel the same, certainly makes the work very rewarding. Very excited by our trajectory, and seeing the tech/industry recognition as a result.

Cons

In a fast growth business, change is the only constant. You have to be willing and comfortable adapting, and have faith that leadership will manage the growth responsibly. So far that seems to be the case. I'm sure things will pop up that will be a cause of frustration, but nothing I've experienced that not's insurmountable.

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.
