Thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Without a doubt we value the contributions and well-being of every single ApplyBoard team member. Our culture of fun and openness continuously brings us together. This goes beyond internal events and celebrations, but the ongoing recognition programs across nearly every team that are done monthly. As well, every month many ApplyBoard team members are either promoted or join another team within the company to lend their skills and experience to. Career development is a constant focus for ApplyBoard and is done regularly and openly with promotions and team changes published monthly to highlight these tremendous milestones for our team members and the company. This is only possible as one of North America’s fastest growing companies. We are also constantly focusing on product developments and improvements. As the international student application leader we do not take this lightly and know that the power to scale our platform and the ability to help millions of students around the world depends on creating strong products. We are doing just that. Thank you again for your review and for your time working at ApplyBoard.

Pros

Within a week of leaving, my inbox filled with congratulations & invitations to reconnect from university partners, agents and sector leaders.

Cons

Hire people who won't ask questions. Pay them less than whoever they replaced. Call it a strategy. When the VC money runs out, so will the relationships.
