      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BetterUp in Aug 2024

      Interview

      As a PhD and expert in social science with a focus on organizational psychology, this place seems to have NO idea what it's doing. I actually dropped out of the interview process because they boast about having PhDs on their team but have ZERO sense of actually applying expertise, both within their business and for the benefit of clients. I really like the idea of this company and what they're trying to do, but my advice to any PhDs who are proud of your expertise and want to add real value in the world: don't waste your time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Irrelevant questions about my personality and not about my expertise. I wouldn't mind taking an actual behavioral assessment, but this came across as inappropriate and irrelevant to the role. When they did actually ask questions about my expertise, it had nothing to do with the job description and mostly to do with data science (even though the role was not a data role). I got the sense the people interviewing me have no expertise in the field at all and didn't even know what to ask about. The whole thing was very unprofessional and seemed like it would be a terrible fit for an actual PhD-level expert.
