Pathrise
Pathrise is an online program for tech professionals that provides 1-on-1 mentorship, training and advice to help you land your next job. On top of that, we're built around aligned incentives. Fellows only pay once they start work at a job they love first.
Why join us?
You'll work directly with students, recent graduates, and career changers to make a life-changing impact on their careers. We've worked with over 1,000 fellows to date and we're just getting started.
Pathrise has helped generate nearly $90m in salary outcomes with a team of only 45. We’ve averaged 3x year over year growth to get here, and we’re still early on. You can join the rocket ship while it’s just getting off the launchpad.
Our team consists of a top 1% engineer from Facebook and top performers from Apple, Uber and Square. We're a talented, supportive, and mission-driven team that values growth, both personal and professional.

Working at Pathrise
Pathrise culture can best be described by our four cultural values: - Put fellows first - Be a founder - Act with intention - Rise up together
Everyone on our team is mission-centric and puts the fellows we work with first. We are transparent everywhere we can be, from company finances to internal challenges. We seek to have a meritocratic and data-driven approach to making decisions and solving problems.
Building a more diverse workforce is inherent to our mission. Our business is centered around improving equity of career opportunity to all job seekers. Pathrise’s core model is guided by core values related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, which you can read here: https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1i1ZPjfHhOclNmhuI7XGi3XTnkiZ9JbkiyhdwAqy47jQ/edit?usp=sharing
Internally, we look closely at diversity not only for our full-time team but also for our part-time mentors and our fellows, so that we can do our best to ensure diversity across all three groups. It’s important to us that we prioritize diversity and equity in our hiring and admissions processes so that our fellows have mentors who they can relate to.
On the fellow side, we offer scholarships in order to build a more diverse tech industry. On the employee side, we regularly host events and activities designed to educate and foster discussion and action amongst our employees about topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our goal is to create an inclusive and inviting space for cultural connection where all feel welcome to show up as their full selves and learn from one another.
As Pathrise has gone 100% remote, we are actively committed to investing time and resources in ensuring everyone feels connected and supported. We do this through a multi-faceted approach that starts at the top with an employee-first mentality that prioritizes transparency, humility and accessible communication.
We invest in the physical and mental health of our employees through equipment, wellness, and professional development stipends. We're committed to building a culture that's fun and positive through practices that encourage frequent appreciation and by investing in activities where we can get to know each another as full people outside of work.
As part of our commitment to an inclusive workplace, we are happy to offer prospective engineers the chance to connect with our engineering employees who come from underrepresented backgrounds. It’s a way to get a better sense of our team and what it might be like to work with us.
If you’re interested in connecting with our team, be sure to bring this up during one of our introductory calls!
