Pros

Good stepping stone for young employees to get some training before moving on, and the management is completely aware- hiring and paying only entry level.

Cons

Changing their name from PlattForm to Keypath is a sign of how hard this company is struggling. The entire company is based on selling leads to career colleges. Every penny that can be cut, every sly trick that can be played to make more money from leads to career colleges is standard practice, including reselling the clients the same leads every thirty days. The good people there spend so much time and energy trying to make the work environment decent. When I left I did t realize that I had been working under a constant sense of panic during my years there. The health insurance is a shameful high deductible health plan. Leadership will tell you that is the standard for jobs now, but it is certainly not the case. Other companies just down the street will give you decent health insurance and a better salary. It isn't a surprise that sush a huge portion of the employees are right out of school, and still with their parents.

I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience and certainly hope you found a better fit. To respond to your comments: For clarification, the company name change had nothing to do with “struggling” and everything to do with our evolution to provide universities with the best solutions for sustainability. During the past 2 years we have launched Online Program Management, opened offices in Australia and UK, and rolled out a career preparation business … to name just a few developments. The name change from PlattForm to Keypath Education gave us an opportunity to tell that story. I thoroughly disagree with your comment regarding our relationship with career colleges. We have been supporting these schools with innovative marketing practices for 26 years and continue to do so today. I can indeed understand the frustration with the previous health insurance package(s). We heard our employees concerns and immediately addressed them with significant and positive changes that roll out on April 1st. The employee feedback from this change has been supportive and positive. Steve

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
