Pros

Amazing Culture- Betterup's mission is to "help people live with clarity, purpose and mission" as an employee I can say they intend to accomplish this, the work behind the scene to accomplish this very evident and everyone in the company is working hard to make this come true. There is a one team mentality and the focus on "Work to learn" is very evident across the company. Great Leadership- I recently joined and I cant say how many where leadership truly care for their team. They are the best at what they do but don't have any arrogance about it and have a sense of self belief in their ability so don't need to over compensate by trying to bend you to their will. Diversity & Inclusion- This is a company I can say that focuses on belonging as a core value, and you can tell that if you look at a room of betterupers it is very diverse and a big change for me coming from companies where I found it hard to fit in You Matter- At BetterUp everyone has a voice and from my first week at the company, I was pitching new ideas that was listened to by the company and to have this opportunity is very rare for most companies. I appreciate that and feel empowered in my role and in the company.

Cons

I can't find any so far, what I can say this is a hypergrowth startup and so there will be loads of changes if you choose to join and you need to have the mindset of extreme ownership in order to excel here. I enjoy this challenge and look forward to it but if you are used to

Pros

High achieving (but friendly, collaborative) environment, great for driven professionals looking to uplevel their skills and career, flexible work schedule allows me to prioritize school pick ups and personal life, company wide summer and winter breaks every year plus "inner work" days off and volunteer days, career opportunities for advancement (at least in my dept.), You'll work with some of the most capable, driven, kind individuals. I've been here for 3+ years and have no intention to leave, I like the work I do and the team I work with.

Cons

High achieving, high performance culture isn't for everyone (clearly). If you're looking to coast, this is not the place for you. There are pockets in the org with bad managers or poor leaders, and I agree they should be weeded out ASAP because they're clearly bringing down the majority of the org which is filled with decent people who want to do the right thing and do good work. I wish they had a 401k match.

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.
