Pros

Working with students to finish their education

Cons

The scarcity of development opportunities, along with a clique driven culture leads to a very divisive environment. Management knows this, but in many instances they promote it with their bias judgment decisions and preferential treatment to specific employees. The turnover is absolutely ridiculous for a company this size.

Appreciate your comments and very sorry you did not have a great experience at Keypath. Not sure what location you worked at or global office? We do think of culture here and if you have been at my all staff meetings and emails you would have seen how we reward folks how embody our core values. As it relates to turnover, we are always trying to improve turnover. But without specifics I will give you some global facts. Keypath has over 50% employees in "Engaged" compared to national average of 15% according to Gallup. This is not to say we don't have room to improve I just think the way you classified our organization is not 100% correct. With all that being said I would love to speak to you. Please email me at steve.fireng@keypathedu.com Thanks again

Pros

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Cons

I was one week into the job when my manager informed me that my pre‑planned vacation would not be approved. This trip was booked and fully paid for a year in advance, and it was meant to celebrate several major milestones in my life: my graduation, my 30th birthday, and my anniversary. Canceling was not an option without losing several thousands of dollars. During this conversation, I was told that new hires are only allowed to take two days off at a time. This policy was never mentioned during the hiring process, and I could not find it anywhere in my new‑hire paperwork. For a company that emphasizes work‑life balance and well‑being, the lack of flexibility was surprising and disappointing. Instead of working with me on a reasonable solution, they chose to deny the request entirely. As a result, I resigned. It’s unfortunate that the company preferred to restart the hiring process rather than allow one pre‑planned vacation. I do not recommend accepting a job at this company if you have any upcoming travel or personal commitments.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this situation was disappointing, particularly given how meaningful this trip was. PTO guidelines, including expectations for new hires, are reviewed during onboarding, and we encourage early discussion of any pre‑planned commitments. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward
