Score
This company cannot pay to remove reviews or change its score.
The mentor was unable to complete any of the specific freelance task but still expected to be paid. CodeMentor where extremely unhelpful and initially sided with the mentor taking them only at their word regardless of the evidence I presented and then eventually only gave a 50% refund. So the mentor essentially got paid for doing nothing. Beware of this company as they will not hold mentors accountable and will likely take their side regardless of evidence.
As you can see from the reply below they have even gave a generic reply as they know they are wrong.

Time waster
Rediculous setup. Various "mentors" responded to my request. The ones who cited experience enough to do the work then never came back after I responded. and I waited DAYS. Really a bunch of clowns that throw promises at you with zero intention to follow up. I will only mention one so its clear I am not malking this up: Mendi Mendistern from Belgium sends me a glowing review of his experience, then never responds to my chat on site.

Warning Warning Warning!!!!
Warning Warning Warning!!!!! Do not use this site. I will explain what occurred. Interestingly enough, after beginning my programming journey. I decided, okay why not find a programming mentor, that can guide me. As I will explain, how that turned into a nightmare. During our initial session via zoom call, the quote-on-quote programming mentor asked if I could pause our session why I located the project I needed help with. So, that they would not charge me for time not used. Being as gullible as I was as a novice beginner programmer. I figured why that's nice of them why not. FALSE! After locating my file to opened I click to resume the session and watched and screen recorded as the time began to run again. Now here is where it becomes interesting ten minutes before the said session was supposed to end. Said "programming" professionally made it a point to ask let me remote in via zoom to show what I mean with the example or demonstration, for what they were trying to convey. As I reviewed the screen recording I made " Thank GOD! After watching the recorded session I notice when the instructor, or if we will call it that. Remotes in and the first thing they do is click the stop session button. Now, mind you. At this point having multiple monitors set up and focusing on the IDE imagine when I see the session has stopped. Then the "programmer" or should I say "scammer" says we have gone over the call by 70 mins. And when I asked how the session was paused she said and listen good: "I have no idea" so not only do we have a scammer, but also a pathological morally corrupt person working for an organization, that claims to be working in the best interest of mentor future programmers but the screening process for allowing any individual to portray themselves as being something. that they are not is mind-blowing! So in closing do not. I repeat do not use this site for ANY! guidance or mentorship from other programmers. In all honesty. You are better off taking the tutorial spin wheel on YouTube or Stackoverflow, or any other resource besides this.

Scammed by Codementor Programmers
I got scammed by the so called programmers who offer services outside of codementor, he had a zoom meeting with me and said codementor will receive 20% of the payment, so I agreed to do outside of codementor to get a cheaper rates, I tried to contact this scammer @sedlanmiloradd
to no avail. He just ignore or blocked me. Be careful!

They ask you long poll about your developer experience stating that poll will be payed if successfully filled.
They left comment about somebody already received Amazon gift card for passing the poll. But they will not wend you anything
