Pros

- The best people you'll ever work with - High expectations for performance, accountability and ideation (in the best way, if you're game for it!) - Coach access is life changing

Cons

- There is a lot to do and no one will force you to say NO to work. Meaning, if you have the focus/self-motivation to manage your plate effectively and not worry about FOMO, and importantly have honest conversations with your manager, you will thrive. If you struggle with these things, you will run into a never-ending list of work, projects, etc. - There is always something to do, so if you don't unplug you will run into burn out. To manage this, you need to advocate for yourself, know that your manager has your back and that the company is not just providing lip service when encouraging employees to take time off, talk to manager about workload, etc.

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.
