      Pros

      - There are a lot of brilliant, mission-driven employees who truly care about Headspace’s mission - Delicious catered lunch almost daily - Generous work from home and PTO policies (that’s sadly abused by many)

      Cons

      - Clueless executive team that constantly shifts the strategic goals and priorities for the company - Stalled innovation for core product; desperately seeking to but can’t seem to match the innovation coming Calm and other competitors - Eng department is losing critical engineers and it’s reflected in quality of the product - Full of inexperienced and truly toxic managers who either drive people away with with their incompetencies or push our folks they deem threats - Shady HR practices - There is an alarming lack of diversity in management positions

      Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We're currently in the process of an internal GLINT engagement survey which directly asks employees about the majority of the topics you mention above. I urge you to take the survey, if you haven't already, and to ask your team mates to do the same as it's only with consistent data we can affect change. I'm 100\% committed to ensuring that feedback like this is the exception and not the rule and if you'd like to speak with me in confidence I'd be very happy to take a walk with you.Louisa CartwrightVP People

      Pros

      -they offer great resources for members to utilize -continued education to sharpen your coaching skills

      Cons

      -there have been so many changes and expectations that are frustrating to navigate -they expect way too much for so little pay and no benefits -this role is so taxing on your own mental health... many of the members that you see aren't a good fit for coaching, so you're also filtering a lot of members for therapy and navigate really heavy mental health conversations that aren't within the scope of coaching -feedback isn't delivered live, it's all put in a spreadsheet that's clearly input by automation
