Pros
Most five-star reviews are from student employees, who are paid campus ambassadors for CodePath. Like what the previous post said, please reach out to current employees with 1+ years of tenure or former full-time employees for a REAL sense of what it's like to work at CodePath. Pros: 1. Remote with no return-to-office plans in the short term. 2. Decent pay by non-profit standards. 3. Friendly, mission-driven, and hard-working ICs and middle managers. 4. DE&I is at the core of the organization's mission. 5. Rewarding when you meet students who benefit from CodePath's services, perhaps at the cost of its employees, which I will discuss below.
Cons
1. Mediocre benefits. No 401k match, no short-term or long-term disability, no cost-of-living adjustment, and 10 weeks of paid parental leave, to name a few. 2. Poor WLB. Leadership promotes unhealthy work-life boundaries and claims this weeds out low performers. ICs and middle managers are busting their a**es and taking on more than they can handle to keep the organization "lean." 3. Employees are disposable. Leadership's answer to solving problems is surprise layoffs and firing notices. At least Amazon gives you a PIP. 4. "Yes-Men" culture, especially with senior leadership. Feedback, even when constructive, can result in you being ostracized and even forced out of the organization. 5. Unprofessional behavior (i.e. yelling at employees, microaggressions at minority employees) from management. 6. Limited growth opportunities after two levels. As an organization that serves students and early-career professionals, they unfortunately don't care too much about helping their own employees grow.

Pros
It pays well and when I started all seemed well.
Cons
With time, the real mission becomes clear. I can't say much, but I will urge you to speak with an employee or two (1:1) before accepting a job at CodePath. Pay attention to how they speak about their day-to-day at the company. Talk to the ones who've been there at least for a year.
