Pros

Some great coaches you and clients can work with. And some very talented team, especially here on West Coast.

Cons

Awful culture! Very weak sales management, no accountability. Executive team out of touch with reality and the "dream" to IPO. Severe turnover for reps and getting worse with the mandatory performance plans.

Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. We are deeply invested in the success of our sales team, and we aim to provide every member with the support they need. Mandatory performance plans were part of our commitment to increase performance transparency since the team expressed the importance of this at our last check-in. However, we are open to your thoughts on a better way to meet your needs. Our commitment is to create a culture where all team members can thrive, and we want to hear from you about how we can improve. You mentioned our IPO goals. We are definitely an ambitious company that aims to change the world in a meaningful way, which means we need to achieve ambitious goals. With that said, we use data and macroeconomic research to set targets that are both achievable and will help us fulfill our mission together in a challenging economy. We invite you to share your feedback directly with your sales leader, HR business partner, or anonymously with us on AllVoices so we can learn more from your experience and better support you. We hope to hear from you soon. -The People Team

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.
