Pros

This is a fast-growing company in the health and wellness category which has been growing very quickly. Mindfulness has got a lot of interest recently and Headspace has been right there to ride that wave. Lots of talented, smart and hard working people. Incredible executive bench strength from leading companies. Awesome mission to "improve the health and happiness of the world", good mindfulness practices at work. Great brand that is reinforced every time you tell people where you work and get enthusiastic responses.

Cons

Lots of change - the company has grown from 50 to 200 in about two years. Projects are started, changed and killed. This is a fast-growing company, so this isn't unique. More seasoned management has been added that should help with this. The only constant is change.

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
