Pathrise is a great program for finding the right job and for personal development
Pathrise is a great program for those who are willing to work strategically to get a job. They have a lot of great resources and training material that really does help in one's job search plan. There is a dedicated career mentor who will meet with you frequently to asses your job search plan and make sure there is proper mentorship. This program is not JUST about job search its in fact more than that. We get resources like mindset coaching and things that are required for personal development which is beyond just job search. I strongly recommend Pathrise and so far it has been a great journey for me.

This program won't get you a job overnight. I had to put in the work, and there were times when I felt frustrated. However, their process made me a more prepared candidate overall. The salary negotiation sessions were especially helpful!

If you're the type who thrives with independent learning, this program might not be your cup of tea. They provide a lot of structure, deadlines, and check ins designed to force you out of procrastination. Honestly, I wouldn't have done half the work without that push. There were times the communication wasn't seamless, but overall, I ended up with a great offer in my chosen field. I highly recommend them if you're willing to commit to the process.

I was applying everywhere
I was applying everywhere, getting some interviews, but not landing offers. My mentor helped me identify the right types of companies to focus on and refine my pitch based on my strengths. We spent a surprising amount of time on seemingly basic things like my resume format, but that made a bigger difference than I expected. Their mock interview prep was worth its weight in gold. Pathrise helped me understand the psychology behind the hiring process, and that's what made the difference

As someone who's always been good at their job but terrible at selling themselves, this program was a lifesaver. The mock interviews were tough but so valuable. I went from fumbling through interviews to getting multiple offers. They taught me how to highlight my achievements and negotiate like a pro.

very disingenuous company
I did pathrise pro for about 6 months. It didn’t result in a job and after my career councilor was replaced 3 times, I requested to be let out of my contract. It was nice talking with people who are in the industry, but their main contribution was having me lie on my resume. But not the standard resume truth stretching, they were telling me to change job titles like “supply chain analyst” to “product manager” or “product marketing analyst” pretty disingenuous if you ask me. This may have worked a couple years ago when tech was booming, but now is a different story. Be warned, they are selling a phantasy.
EDIT: Response to Pathrise’s rebuttal
1) lying on resume: I had 3 career councilors. Absolutely all of them advocated for and basically made me lie on my resume. This came in the form of changing job titles to roles I didn’t have, and also in the form of a key word dump in the objective section of my resume. I typically don’t include an objective section but was urged to include one as they needed to stuff as many key words (skills I don’t have, softwares I’ve never used) in there to fool an ATS system. Lying on the resume was the first step of the program as you are not able to continue until your resume has been cleared with the higher ups. I’m not lying and to suggest I am in pathrise’s response is yet another example of this company’s flawed morals.
2) “Our program is built around using your existing experience + our resources and network” you actually do not have access to anyone’s professional network. I asked every single councilor and “mentor” for a referral, even a recommendation on LinkedIn, but was told no every time.
3) As soon as I wrote my review on trustpilot, I was contacted by the founder of pathrise, Kevin Wu, via email. They are in damage control mode. The whole program relies on their charade not being made public and they are trying to sweet talk me into taking this review down.
Very disingenuous company
