Pros

Flexible hours, generous PTO, remote environment, high pay for this field

Cons

There have been two rounds of layoffs in the last two years, each time eliminating ~25% of FT staff members. There is high turnover amongst the leadership team, which leads to a very disjointed organizational strategy that is becoming more and more apparent each day. There’s little to no transparency on big decisions that are made and for a company that claims to put such high value on employee well-being, they are quick to gloss over the fact that the employee satisfaction scores get lower every year. Please do not let the high scores from current and former tech fellows fool you as they are temporary, part-time employees. The best advice I can give is that if you are currently considering a full-time position, run away as fast as you can.

Toxic Company - Run

Pros

The mission and the students are amazing. That's it.

Cons

This organization has a deeply unhealthy culture. Leadership is far more focused on financial targets than on the well-being of employees, and the environment reflects that. Revenue goals are routinely missed, followed by sudden layoffs that seem to occur every couple of years with little transparency. Work-life balance is virtually nonexistent; long hours are treated as an expectation rather than an exception. Goals often feel disconnected from reality, driven by the CEO’s inflated sense of vision rather than by thoughtful strategy or data. Much of the company’s public image feels performative. Employees who raise concerns or provide candid feedback through internal surveys often don’t remain long afterward, which has created an atmosphere of fear and silence. Morale is low, turnover is constant, and many people leave due to stress and the toll it takes on their mental health. This is not a sustainable or supportive place to build a career. RUN!!

Pros

Being a Tech Fellow at CodePath has been one of the best professional experiences I’ve had. Everything about the program is well-structured and supportive. You’re never lacking for resources, guidance, or opportunities to succeed. As a TF, you get the chance to make a real impact by helping students grow into future engineers, while also sharpening your own technical and communication skills at the same time. The environment is collaborative and mission-driven, and you truly feel like you’re contributing to something bigger. CodePath equips you with the tools to lead, teach, and continue improving as a developer. If you’re looking for a role that blends mentorship, technical growth, and community impact, this an incredible opportunity.

Cons

Honestly, I don’t have any real cons. The role is rewarding. The only “con” might be that balancing the time commitment alongside school or work requires good time management, but that’s true of any meaningful opportunity.
