Pros

Growing and learning is a critical part of my day job, not just with my coaches, but also as an integral part of how the work gets done. This organization experiments boldly, tries new things a lot, and values the learning as much as (sometimes more than) the result.

Cons

There is a lot going on all the time, so it can feel chaotic if you don't block intentional time to pause, reflect, evaluate priorities, align with colleagues, and then go fast. I used to think doing those things meant work slowed down, but really this can be done very quickly, without losing momentum, if they are intentional and done often. If you don't do it though you can end up swirling around in all the things for a ton of hours.

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.
