Pros

- You don't just feel important or that your work matters, you ARE important and your work mattes. I've worked at many companies before that talked a lot about team but didn't deliver. I truly enjoy Keypath for valuing me legitimately. - Fun industry. Higher education has a lot going on. Lots of changes and interesting things taking place. Gives you the chance to be more involved and grow with the industry. - Office atmosphere. Casual dress, open space for interacting. Never have a seen someone be told anything close to "get back to work" and you're empowered to manage your own time.

Cons

- Can get a little loud sometimes since we're mostly in cubes, but the environment isn't different than any other business. We just have a lot of us and lots of activity. - Hard pressed to think of others. All depends on your situation. But hours can be flexible. It's located in downtown Palatine for better or for worse. And we keep growing so the office is getting full.

Pros

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Cons

I was one week into the job when my manager informed me that my pre‑planned vacation would not be approved. This trip was booked and fully paid for a year in advance, and it was meant to celebrate several major milestones in my life: my graduation, my 30th birthday, and my anniversary. Canceling was not an option without losing several thousands of dollars. During this conversation, I was told that new hires are only allowed to take two days off at a time. This policy was never mentioned during the hiring process, and I could not find it anywhere in my new‑hire paperwork. For a company that emphasizes work‑life balance and well‑being, the lack of flexibility was surprising and disappointing. Instead of working with me on a reasonable solution, they chose to deny the request entirely. As a result, I resigned. It’s unfortunate that the company preferred to restart the hiring process rather than allow one pre‑planned vacation. I do not recommend accepting a job at this company if you have any upcoming travel or personal commitments.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this situation was disappointing, particularly given how meaningful this trip was. PTO guidelines, including expectations for new hires, are reviewed during onboarding, and we encourage early discussion of any pre‑planned commitments. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward
