Pros

— Work from home — Competitive wage — Daily flexibility on your schedule

Cons

— Leadership — It’s white-washed and filled with “yes people” promoted more for optics and convenience rather than actual managerial and leadership talent and ability. — Job duties — This a call center position dressed up and fed to you as much more than it is. Very boring, unfulfilling and soul sucking work just to pad the pockets of Keypath and their partner schools. Don’t expect problems to be solved through team work and collaboration. It’s survival mode, just putting out fires to not burn down the entire department and moving to the next with no real plan. Innovation comes here to die. — Culture — They scream diverse & inclusive practices so loudly. That should have been the first red flag, as companies don’t have to talk about it if they are about it. They just do it. No real training for leaders surrounding these topics, so you are left with inept managers and AD’s who are racist, sexist and homophobic.

Thank you for feedback and very sorry your experience has not been positive at Keypath. Not going to debate your comments as your feelings and experiences are yours. This is obviously not the experience from many (if not most) employees at here, but very sorry it was for you. You do make several comments that I find concerning, and would like to speak directly if possible. I disagree with your comments on retaliation and I am open to all feedback, even if not great to hear. My email is steve.fireng@keypathedu.com. Again very sorry about your experience and hope to speak soon 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
