Pros
If you are looking for mission driven work that has genuine impact on people's personal and professional development then you will love making a contribution to BetterUp. The work is hard but that is a given if you are joining a category creating startup. However, it is also what makes working at BetterUp so rewarding because of how the organization approaches challenges. The challenges lead to growth and are reinforced through defined practices of regular self-reflection & organizational reflection. These and many other practices are built into the culture which helps drive learning and growth. You will be surrounded by very talented, caring, and driven coworkers which in and of itself is an amazing experience. You will feel supported by peers and have amazing opportunties to learn from others.
Cons
Mission driven work has an alternative side of burnout. It is difficult in the always performing culture to sustain your passion over long periods of time. Though, BetterUp supports recovery through many benefit (PTO, Coaching, etc.). BetterUp's views on career progression are non-traditional. You may have low control over the direction of your career and instead be encouraged instead to consider the impact you create for BetterUp (over any of your professional goals). This creates a strong team environment and does lead to strong organizational results but it also comes at a professional sacrifice not everyone may be willing to make. If you are looking for defined career paths, clear promotion pathways, or an environment with mature talent development practices than BetterUp may not be the best fit for you.
