Read Mission Statement
Everything we do is with the goal of placing our fellows in jobs that they find satisfying and we do this by being “fellow centric”, which means putting our fellows first.
At Pathrise we are trying to optimize the job seekers dilemma by approaching it systematically. We should be thinking about how can we improve and continue to contribute.
Being a founder means we have to understand the overall picture of the business, why our work is important, and where we should take it in the future.
We must go above and beyond to be supportive, be positive and inspire one another to bring up productive conversations where feedback is viewed as an opportunity for growth.
Work from anywhere. Pathrise is headquartered in San Francisco, but our team is fully distributed. Everyone feels included and connected through all hands meetings, happy hours, weekly wins, virtual coffee chats, & much more.
We strive to provide an environment where employees can grow, be heard, feel valued, and make meaningful contributions. Hear what our team has to say about working at Pathrise!
Pathrise has so much integrity as a company, and the mission permeates every aspect. Everyone is so welcoming and passionate about empowering job seekers; you're a part of something life changing here and that's a unique experience.
Pathrise is my dream job. The mission is what brought me here but the people I get to work with is what keeps me here. The values on our website say everything you need to know - every person at Pathrise embodies these qualities and they are top of mind in every conversation throughout the organization."
I love working at Pathrise because my colleagues are bright, resourceful people who take an intelligent and informed approach to improving the lives of others!
Working at Pathrise not only allows for me to find jobseekers their dream job, but the career mentor role has been a dream job for me, as well.
One specific moment that I had realized this is when I met with a colleague (Nehemiah L.) for a “donut,” which is a quick 15-minute social meeting and after filling each other in on our work, we both said to each other, ‘Working at Pathrise is just so healthy. It’s just a healthy environment and culture.'
Pathrise strikes a great balance between autonomy and community! Even with a fully remote team, I feel supported in both my role and my professional development.
What I love about working at Pathrise is that you get to work with people that are incredibly passionate about what they do. I've always been that person in group projects that does all the work, but here I find myself inspired to always do more and try new things because of my amazing and passionate colleagues."

Hi Imani, I wanted to thank you again for all the help with my presentation! I got great feedback from the team, and felt way more confident going in to my interview thanks to your help.
My recruiter called me Thursday morning, and I got the Google job! I am so thrilled. Thank you again for all the help and time you provided during my preperation. I appreciate it so much.
Big shoutout to Isabel for working tirelessly to build Platform 2.0! This is the biggest redesign I’ve ever worked on, and it was so helpful to me to have a kick-ass developer like Isabel who not only took my crazy designs and built them, but asked thoughtful questions and suggested ways to make the designs better.
I really enjoyed working with you Michael. I really can’t thank you enough. Best mentor ever, but also good friend. I hope we keep in touch.
Thank you so much Charmaine! I was very down after getting rejected from everywhere, but working with you made me very optimistic in my job search. I will miss our weekly check-ins a lot.
I want to say that I am very grateful for all your help. Through your mentorship, I have been able to grow a lot. I was lost in the job application process before Pathrise, but because of your guidance, I have finally got a job that I wanted.
Pathrise was built on the cornerstone of creating equity in the tech space. The job search should not be based on socio-economic, race, gender, sexual orientation. We uphold this same belief for all Pathrisers!
