Pros

There's something truly special about knowing the work you're doing every day has a positive impact in the lives of others. Getting to do that work with kind and passionate people is the cherry on top. BetterLesson is gearing up for rapid growth and I'm thrilled to make my contributions to that growth in my day to day. We work hard but we play hard too. The flexibility offered by being fully remote allows me to ensure that I'm dedicating just as much time and energy to my personal life as I do to my professional life. I can't wait to see what the next few years has in store for BetterLesson and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Cons

Navigating a fully remote environment as a new employee can sometimes be challenging. However, BetterLesson does a great job of making it clear that everyone subscribes to having an "open door policy".

BetterLesson Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful review! We are on an amazing trajectory and glad that you are with us for the ride. We want to continue our remote-first environment and make everyone feel they are a part of team from wherever they are in country.
