Do not go with this company. You can get more information on how to interview from youtube and ticktock than this company. My friend who was in this company said they have a less than 1% interview rate for jobs they apply for. They will say you have opportunities for jobs no one knows about but really most of the jobs they apply for are already expired.

10 out of 10 recommend for anyone looking for a career change! Coming from a small business owner background and transitioning into a technical role was one of the harder move in my career. Pathrise helped me tailor my resume, interviews, and negotiation to start a new career!

Pathrise combines an amazing system of career and industry mentors to help you land your dream career! Pathrise and its mentors will help you every step of the way through your job search. I would highly recommend Pathrise to anyone who wants a career change!

My experience was made excellent by the mentors. My career mentor never failed to leave me with actionable advice on how to improve my resume, job search and my chances at getting interviews. The industry mentors helped make sure I was ready for the interview process, behaviorally and technically. The workshops were helpful in that they instilled confidence in me that I have what it takes to be a software developer, and it turns out, I do!

I worked with Pathrise from November 2021 till recently. I left without being placed in a job. Why, then, do I give it 5 stars? Everyone that I worked with was amazing, from the career coaches to the technical support people. Everyone seemed to care about trying to place me and how I could find a better position. There is always room for growth, but they have recognized that and are always working to grow. While it didn't work out in the end, I can honestly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a way to help find new opportunities.

I would say that Pathrise is pretty good, but could use some room for improvement. In the tech-savvy preparation especially, I think that Pathrise can do much better. Right now, one of my problems with Pathrise is that while it's very good with helping candidates apply for job, it often feels like you're on your own when it comes to preparation. Thankfully, meeting with an industry mentor (the technical guys who help with honing your skills) is accessible, but the problem is that they are optional, not required like how the career mentors are. I think that one thing that would make Pathrise a much more worthwhile experience is to assign us rigorous industry mentors who hold us accountable and make sure that we get Leetcode work done EVERY SINGLE WEEK, just like we meet with career mentors. Since these industry mentors are already general FAANG (or other companies') employees or alumni, we should also get behavioral coaching from these guys. Also, Pathrise needs to work on making its Leetcode sessions and other featured programs better at rebounding when an industry mentor leaves. Example: Mohy Saleh, an industry mentor, left Pathrise and used to coach group mock interviews, and ever since he left, this workshop has not been happening. Pathrise is a good organization, but needs to work on its interaction with the industry mentors, who should be mandatory for fellows to meet with. On the side, we should have credits to schedule with additional industry or career mentors, but the industry mentors should be much more internally involved in, and running, Pathrise, than they currently are. Thus, while I enjoy the experience at Pathrise, I cannot give it an excellent five-star rating until this is improved. Furthermore, I do not see how Pathrise is worth 7% of our salary in the meantime as we mostly have on-our-own Leetcode sessions without weekly, rigorous meetings with industry mentors to help push us to a career. This, combined with Pathrise often being slow to recover sessions lost when an industry mentor leaves (such as the group mock interviews), leads me to the conclusion that, as of current, Pathrise should not be charging 7% of the salary to freshly placed candidates. That percentage should be brought down to 5 until industry mentors are more internally involved.

While there are career resources available throughout the internet, Pathrise combines the expertise of career and industry mentors with a transparent system that promotes accountability throughout the entire job-searching process. It's been a great experience and I have learned quite a lot that will be helpful throughout my entire career.

Such a great experience with all of the mentors and tools available! This company knows what their goals are and communicates it clearly to participants. If you’re wondering if you should join, you should.
