Pros
OFFICES: The offices are beautiful, you feel good as soon as you walk in. Friendly faces always welcome you. We have a fully stocked snack kitchen and daily catered lunches. You even have the option to move around and work in the different work stations--you're not chained to your desk. We have flexible hours and work-life balance is taken seriously. We have access to some of the best employee development coaching in the country, which includes all-staff retreats, company offsites and training sessions. Headspace invests in its employees and truly cares about their success and growth. RECOGNITION: Your hard work will be recognized and rewarded. I started as a temp and was only supposed to be here for 2 weeks, but I showed them that I believed in our mission, worked hard and was offered a permanent position, plus a raise soon afterwards. A strong work ethic is recognized daily at HS. In addition to our managers' feedback, we also use a special rewards tool called Bonusly. This is a cool way to let our team members know when they have done a good job, thank them for their work and give them a little gift. Bonusly can be cashed in for Nike, Delta, Amazon, etc. You can also donate your points/$$$ to charity. Whatever you like :) DREAM TEAM: Everyone I get to work with is not only talented, but also incredibly nice. You can always count on your team. I've had the pleasure of working closely with all teams, specially with our management. Our founders, Rich and Andy are amazing! I’ve worked in a wide variety of industries before, but never anything like Headspace. What makes a huge difference to me is how much Rich and Andy care about all their employees. They put a lot of thought into our retreats and are accessible during both good and bad times. Overall, the team knows how to add that personal and genuine touch when you need it. Even on a hard day as I walk back to my car, I feel good about my work. There’s nothing more fulfilling than working for a mission driven company. I can’t say enough how happy I am here and how much my own life has improved.
Cons
- We need more meeting rooms! We are building a new office so hopefully this is just a temporary problem. -Sometimes I wonder if we are too transparent and let all employees know too much info. I feel our open communication and honesty at the weekly all hands meetings is making us a target. Hence, some of the negative Glassdoor reviews.
