Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. As our company continues to scale, we recognize the growing pains and are actively making it a priority to address them. We want every member of the team to feel supported in managing their workload and setting boundaries. Internal mobility is important to us and first time managers are a result of that commitment. However, we are also committed to ensuring that all managers are provided ongoing learning opportunities to advance their leadership skills and by extension help their teams thrive. You note that you are no longer an employee, but please connect with us directly if you feel comfortable sharing more details. Our HR team would be grateful for the opportunity to learn more about your experience as we look to continuously improve our organization. - The BetterUp People Team

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.
