Pros

I enjoy the opportunity to work from home and ability to adjust my hours/schedule as needed on most days.

Cons

It makes me sad to feel confident that I cannot trust any of the positive reviews that have been said about the Placement Department at Keypath as of late as word spreads that individuals are asked to complete positive reviews to cover up negative ones. I recommend to keep scrolling through the fluff to find the genuine reviews of those who provided a review here on the true state of the Placement department as a last resort to trying everything else to enact healthy change. To try and keep this review brief, the Placement Department continues to be a sinking ship lead by a group of privileged white leadership members who would rather spend time scolding their department for providing anonymous requested feedback by gaslighting them with "teaching" professionalism values rooted deep in white supremacy, mailing them leis to appropriate hawaiian culture as a "fun theme," continually becoming defensive over any question asked, and expressing personal victimization over reading negative reviews here. The overall consensus of the Placement department non-leadership employees is that of great unhappiness, burn out, and exhaustion from advocating for positive change to a group of managers and leadership team members who can only respond with defensiveness which does not create a space for healthy change and dialogue. If you are considering applying for a role in this department, I strongly encourage you to rethink it and apply elsewhere as the majority of us do not see a light at the end of this tunnel. I can only hope that one day genuine change can exist within this department as I believe many employees will be/are currently seeking new employment opportunities that provide an equitable wage/benefits, opportunities for advancement based off of skills/experience rather than favoritism/lack of following proper HR hiring practices, managers and leadership who take the time to learn their roles in order to best support their supervisees, and non-performative practices to take place that create genuine healthy change to meet employee needs rather than those that create additional tasks.

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
