Pros

There are some talented individuals on staff and the app has genuinely helped a lot of people.

Cons

Never has my mental health been in a worse place than when I worked for Headspace. It's quite ironic that so much of their content centers around taking care of your mental health at work and promoting work life balance when Headspace as an organization is an unbearably toxic work environment. You will drive yourself crazy trying to make sense of the broken systems here. Nothing works or makes sense. The SLT is the axis of evil. The magic is gone, and the few people left that actually care about the mission or have any talent are being tortured on a daily basis. It's the epitome of corporate greed ruining a perfectly good thing, and there isn't even any real wealth to show for it. The company is a completely doomed flop, the app barely functions, and their resources are dwindling. Consumers have lost trust in the brand, and their B2B business is on its last legs. Run don't walk to work literally anywhere else on planet earth.

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
