I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BetterUp in May 2020
Interview
My interviews were thorough and touched on many aspects of my past work and experience. I got to meet a bunch of leaders on the team.
My recruiter made sure I was well prepared for each step of the way. She called me before each set of interviews to let me know what to expect.
After getting an offer I asked for and was given an opportunity to meet folks on the team and talk to them about working at BetterUp.
The only negative about my interview process was that no one told me about the layoffs that happened earlier in the year due to Corona Virus.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How do you use data in your decision making? What about when you don't have all the data that you might want?
The process is exhausting and at times unpleasant due to the length, complexity, and the attitude of the recruiter and some members of the BetterUp team. I would not recommend interviewing with this company.

Interview
After first 2 interviews that went well (their feedback) i received the assignment, where it is expected to commit at least 4 hours and develop a PRD doc. That is in my opinion just a crazy requirement as it is expected that you commit at least half a day to do it, and for free... So i wrote in the opening of the document i committed only 1h. After that i was ghosted. I asked for the feedback, and one of the HRs replied she will get back to me, and never did. All in all not a positive experience. Expecting that candidates do free work and commit crazy hours to it, while just ghosting them is really unprofessional!
Definitely on the long side. There was a recruiter round, a behavioural round with the hiring manager, a take-home case and presentation, a set of cross-functional interviews with 4-5 members of the team, an additional case interview with the HM, and two executive rounds. However, folks on the team are incredible and you can tell they live and breathe the culture of kindness; everyone was very welcoming and easy to talk to, and were immensely passionate about the mission.
Recruiter was also incredible; had the chance to work with Courtney who was very professional, prompt with responses, easy to work with, set clear expectations, and overall made the interview process a very seamless one.
