The coach herself was great. The customer service was not. I had to pause my account, after which I got zero notification that my pause had ended, and zero notification that I would be charged again. I have essentially been charged for two months, almost $600, with zero coaching. Will not recommend.

I have been searching for something to jump into after being dissatisfied with my previous role. My coach was able to help me figure out what is truly important to me. Simple conversations were picked apart and certain things were brought to light which in the end help me answer my own questions and what I want to do in my next chapter. Having an unbiased coach is a great tool to vent and let things out while they are able to pinpoint what is truly important.

My coach's approach to self development and career navigation has been exactly what I've needed. Carly helps me confront the core mental obstacles that have typically held me back and explore new ways of putting my experiences, interests, and strengths to good use. This is very high value counseling and well worth the investment.

Overall I did have a good time with my expert. He was able to help guide me and sort out some of my thoughts. I do not know if this is a really good source for figuring out what you are interested in doing next, it's more like helping you plan when you already know what you really want to do next. If you are stuck and are unsure whether you should continue the same career or change paths then they may help a little bit but ultimately that'll be your decision.

I am disturbed by how heavily and relentlessly Strawberry advertises itself on social media. I am also disturbed by their heavy use of AI, where the consent is not always so clear, such as recording sessions and summarizing answers you put into intake forms and other exercises. The two combined, including its use of AI videos in its ads and how janky the platform can be sometimes, shows that this is a classic, haphazardly assembled quick bang-for-buck direct-to-consumer business model. Not to mention its questionable and difficult billing practices. But there is good too - the best part is the actual human coaches, which can be a hit or miss. And you are given the chance to try until you pick the right one. To summarize - the whole thing feels like a slapdash AI wrapper operation, but the humans on the platform can truly be helpful as life and career coaches. I would just prefer to work with them away from Strawberry's platform.

I love my coach! I don’t know what kind of algorithm they use to match people off of just a few questions but we clicked immediately. It feels like getting advice from a friend who knows more but patiently listens, gives advice and nudges you where appropriate. Definitely holds me accountable when I get lazy but I appreciate that. Definitely recommend!

I heard about this company on a Stanford Business School podcast. This company does not have a phone number for customer service. If you have questions about scheduling and billing that need to be resolved, you'll need to have those conversations solely via email with a billing person or a bot (not sure). The coach has nothing to do with billing.

Its like therapy for your career. You need to put the effort to see results, but, the guidance helps you get to the best option you can think of for you. Worth it!
