Pros

- The leadership cares for the team's well-being; they were receptive to implementing progressive HR practices like flexible time off and additional leaves to improve work-life balance and support. employees during important milestones (like grieving a loved one or starting a new family). - The leadership team gave a lot of autonomy to their functional leads and other individual contributors - this organization served as an amazing platform for my growth personally and I saw many other folks grow in their roles as well. - The overall culture was inclusive and receptive to employees of all different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives - You get to work with extremely kind, empathetic, intelligent, and talented people! - The leadership is receptive to feedback and inputs from the team (both when it comes to improving the overall culture and the product itself). They're eager to collaborate and lean on the insight and expertise of their teams. - When faced with challenging decisions (whether HR-related or customer/product related), the leaders always prioritized integrity and doing the right thing.

Kontras

Not necessarily a con, but Bettermode has some typical challenges of a startup of its size. For instance, a smaller team meant we were wearing several hats. An earlier stage of growth meant adapting the product to customer needs as we learned more about our users. This is part of what made the company a great platform for development; we learned to broaden our skillset and become very adaptable and innovative. However, it may not be suitable for someone who does not enjoy working in a startup environment or small team.

Pros

Colleagues are good people. Hybrid work model.

Kontras

Leadership issues: Each founder has a different take on where the product should go, and they’re not aligned. This causes major confusion across teams and leads to wasted effort. One founder mostly brags about his podcast and frequently changes direction without clear rationale. This creates a sense of instability. Internally. It is evident that even he isn’t sure what the product should be. Lack of originality: Much of the product seems inspired by other popular platforms. While that's not inherently bad, it's misleading when leadership claims the product quality and original thinking is “on par with Apple”. The execution just doesn’t reflect that. Toxic culture: There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering. Backchannel conversations and sudden reversals are common. Trust is low, and employees are often left out of key decisions until it's too late. These things happen at larger companies, but they are able to do this with extremely small number of employees. Zero diversity: The team is overwhelmingly from one geographic background. There’s no real effort to build an inclusive or diverse culture, Lying: The CEO is a serial liar. He is good at saying things that you want to hear and feel good. He will deceive you whenever he needs to. Do not trust this person.

At Bettermode, we believe in transparency, integrity, and building something meaningful, together. While I won't speculate on who wrote this review, it’s worth noting that several reviews have recently appeared under roles we haven’t hired for. This pattern is unfortunate, and frankly, misleading to those genuinely trying to learn about our company. Startups are hard. Things don’t always go the way we hope. But when we part ways with people, it’s our hope they move forward with the same respect and professionalism we try to extend to them. I’m incredibly proud of our team, our product, and the culture we’re building. It’s not perfect, and we continue to learn and evolve, but we’re committed to creating something that matters, and we won’t be distracted from that mission.

Pros

— Growth isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected, and it starts with you as a person. — Bettermode embraces the idea that personal development leads to high performance and long-term impact. — There’s a strong culture of excellence, but not at the cost of your humanity—it’s about becoming a better version of yourself, inside and outside work. — Autonomy is real: from flexible hours to owning and leading your own initiatives, you’re trusted to do the work your way. — The company actively supports creativity and entrepreneurial thinking, with a team that’s open to exploring and executing ideas that create impact for the business and our customers. — Focus on using AI to drive efficiency and innovation—whether you’re automating tasks or shaping strategy, you’re encouraged to explore and apply it meaningfully.

Kontras

— High expectations and a strong push for growth can feel intense if you’re not self-driven or proactive. — Fast pace and autonomy mean alignment can slip. Whether that’s a blocker or just noise depends on your mindset—ownership and initiative go a long way. — You need to be comfortable with ambiguity. Things move fast, and not everything will be fully defined before you’re expected to execute. — Processes are still evolving—sometimes you’ll have to build the system while using it.
