Prince Harry's Role at BetterUp Faces Criticism

Prince Harry's role at BetterUp, a mental health firm paying him nearly £800,000 a year, has come under fire as employees label it a 'toxic train wreck' and a 'psychologically unsafe place to work.' Since joining as Chief Impact Officer in 2021, Harry has actively promoted the company's mission and app, likening it to 'life coach Tinder for millennials.' However, past and present workers have voiced serious concerns about an 'elitist club of leaders' lacking moral integrity and the overall management being detached from employees' needs. Reviews on Glassdoor reveal a dismal 2.8 out of 5 rating, with complaints about favoritism, strategy shifts, and a fear of speaking up due to a close-knit leadership. Additionally, a former client expressed worries about the confidentiality of coaching sessions. Despite the company’s appealing amenities, such as yoga studios and office dogs, employee dissatisfaction remains prevalent.
