Pros

BetterUp is a very good place to work, with intelligent and caring leaders who invest in their teams and push us to do our best work. The work is pretty challenging but meaningful compared to your run of the mill SaaS company. Most people have a lot of energy and passion around their jobs, and it’s inspiring to be part of a company that’s making a tangible impact on peoples lives with our coaching platform. I’m excited and optimistic about BetterUp's future and the business outlook and I'm proud to contribute to its mission.

Cons

Not really a con, but there was a decent amount of turnover on the leadership team in the last year or so, which concerned me at the time. However, the replacements/new additions to the team are really solid and capable and are a major upgrade from what we had before, so it's been a big positive and I think they're taking the company in the right direction.

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.
