Pros

The excellent coworkers and the mission are what motivate people to stay. There are also attractive benefit packages if you negotiate them upfront.

Cons

There are so may cons about working here. The leadership is in disarray and continues to mention the potential for additional layoffs. While the company claims to welcome feedback those who give it can never live it down because its all recorded against them. Alexi and Eddie continue to have a revolving door on their leadership teams as no one wants to remain at the company and they're pushed out as soon as they voice their opinions. If an employee becomes too popular and threatens the founders' egos, which is not hard to do, they get exited. Recently a senior sales leader was pushed out of the company because she exited the founders brother who was working on her team and underperforming. Career advancements are nearly impossible to come by and so many great employees are leaving as this place is crumbling.

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.
