Pros

The CEO, Steve, is very receptive to feedback from employees at all levels. Keypath started with many people working in-person and he heard that most of us want to be remote, so he changed policy and Keypath is a remote-friendly company. He also heard that many weren't happy with the parental leave policy, so he increased that paid time off significantly. Other pros are the pay. It's very fair pay compared to other ed tech companies.

Cons

While the parental leave policy is great, I still think there's room to improve the PTO policy. I am the primary caregiver of a child who is in daycare, so that child gets sick a lot. While my supervisor is very understanding, it would be nice to have more PTO, even if it's only specifically to be used for sick time. The majority of my PTO this year was used as sick time. Also-I would love there to be more flexibility with the tuition benefits. I would love to go back to school to get my doctorate. However, I'm not comfortable doing so with the policy that Keypath currently has. I understand why certain rules are there, but it would be nice to know, for example, that one poor performance review won't mean I would owe Keypath thousands of dollars for a degree I was pursuing.

Thank you for comments and appreciate the recognition on parental leave change. We continue to review our benefits both hard and soft, to evaluate the market and what we should do to help employees perform, but also be supported. As it relates to tuition benefits I agree this is a tremendous benefit. Some of these programs do limit the number of employees and because these programs are free we don't want a lot of employee turnover in these programs. This makes us have strong standards to let folks into these programs. If you have any ideas on making this program more viable and get more folks in program please share ideas with HR. Hope that helps and thanks again. steve

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
