Scam
I signed up for mentor cruise, thinking that I would be able to expand my knowledge on coding. I was matched with a mentor and was asked to pay via cryptocurrency as something was going on with other payment options. I was uncomfortable with this as this was not a preferred payment on their platform. I mentioned that I would find a different mentor and thanked him for his time.
About 2 to 3 days later I received another message stating that the payment issue that he was having with PayPal has been resolved, and that he would like to still be my mentor based on his credentials and everything that he had to offer I agreed.
He mentioned that he would be able to assist me with my shortcomings and questions that I had with coding. he mentioned that he would be able to assist me with my shortcomings and questions that I had with coding but what I was greeted with however, that was not the case, and I started working on tasks that felt like they possibly belong to his company or possibly one of his colleagues.
I then did some additional research on LinkedIn and saw that he attended Harvard but only for a year. I then did some additional research on LinkedIn and saw that he attended Havard but only for a year. As well as an extensive repertoire of experience, but his linked in only showed he’s been coding for roughly 3 years although on mentor cruise, it showed he had been coding for 10+ years. As well as an extensive repertoire of experience but his LinkedIn only showed he’s been coding for roughly 3 years although on mentor cruise it showed he had been coding for 10+ years. Red flags started going off.
Mind you - I was promised 4 to 5 zoom calls, or live chats to where we can discuss code but instead I was greeted with projects with no meetings, and this made me feel extremely uneasy
I advised that I would not be able to fulfill their mentorship, because I do not have the bandwidth, and I would like a refund. The mentorship was immediately canceled, and I was not refunded.

I reached out to mentor cruise customer service, who said they would look into the matter and excited with the mentor, even though I expressed concerns as to why he was asking me for cryptocurrency when that was not her preferred payment. I reached out to mentor cruise customer service who said they would look into the matter and they sided with the mentor even though I expressed concerns as to why he was asking me for cryptocurrency when that was not her preferred payment additionally, as to why I did not receive the meetings that I was promised, and I was only given a curriculum to perform minuscule duties that I had not asked for.
I filed a chargeback with my bank as I felt this company was scamming me, and 14 days later, they responded to my bank and said no this was a valid charge.

Update: I can absolutely post confirmation of the shady practices of asking for crypto which was NOT a preferred payment method on your site. You’re fraudulent through and through. I have all of the contact screenshots so if you’d like to say I omitted any information- you may want to rethink that statement.

One of the best (if not the best!)
I have worked with other mentoring platforms before and I would say the business model of MentorCruise is revolutionary. I love this platform. I'm working as a mentor, the mentees under me are happy too. It has given me a chance to help new learners in a professional way.
This is a life-changing amazing…
This is a life-changing amazing experience and I have enjoyed it so much.
I will cherish this experience forever and thank you for giving me the motivation to write this, Dominic, and My fantastic design mentor, Earl.
I am trying to get back to my dream career as UX Designer and I was out of the industry for almost 4 years during the horrible immigration process and covid-19.
I finally finished all the homework for myself and I start to realize that I have no idea where to start to begin my UX Designer career.
It was pretty sad and I have been trying to watch tutorials and everything. However, It was so difficult for me to start from the very beginning stage without knowing where I am going, and finding the right mentor was pretty hard.
I have been trying ADP list. However, the mentor's consultation is free and they are not gonna get paid for their time so there will be no commitment on the mentor or mentee side.
As you know, if you would like to break into an industry that you want to get in. One-time mentorship will not huge benefit in long term. It is still better than nothing but if someone who knows you better and knows the industry that you are getting into as senior/lead level. This is an amazing synergy that you never expected in your whole life! I really felt lucky that my mentor, Earl is an amazing human being and understands my struggles and finding the best solution that I could approach.
MentorCruise is life-changing
MentorCruise has given me the opportunity of learning new skills even after I graduated from college. My mentor gave me motivation back and now I wake up happy and excited to work again!
Great website for learning
I've worked with more than 4 mentors in the Web development field .
They were all great mentor, I've learned a lot from them
Mentorcruise is a great plateforme.
I've also discuss with the Ceo very kind helpful mentor .
Thanks for this great plateforme
Horrible mentor experience
A data engineer was my mentor and he had no clue how to help someone. He told me that he had 5 other mentees and that he was a senior data engineer. On our calls I would hear a bunch of babies in the background crying. Before I ended my mentorship, I hadn't heard from him for two weeks.
Update: I was offered a discount and I haven't heard back from them. Oh yea, they want me to change my review...lol

Incompetent mentor
My mentor didn’t seem like a domain expert and he looked annoyed that he had to meet with me. He asked me what I needed help with and then offered very little advice. It was a waste of money and there is no way to review them on the mentor cruise website, they filter out all negative feedback.

Very satisfied!
I'm very satisfied with my Mentor Gonçalo Plama! He does not only talk me about Flutter but he helps me to grow, to think as a senior developer!
Found my first mentors through Mentorcruise!
Through Mentorcruise I've found my first mentors six months ago. Since then, I've progress professionally a lot, because my mentors helped me a lot along my learning journey. Wouldn't be there where I am today without Mentorcruise, which helped me to easily find the right mentors.
Mentorcruise is one of the best things…
Mentorcruise is one of the best things ever happened to me. I've got a whole panel with advisors through this platform. For prices which I would've dreamt of only in the past. Plus it's super easy. I have 1 dashboard with all coaches and it takes me super little time to manage all of this.
MentorCruise changed my life
MentorCruise changed my life. Initially, I was planning on enrolling in a coding bootcamp. Then the pandemic happened and suddenly the idea of spending 15k seemed very unrealistic. That's when I found MentorCruise. I've had 3 mentors so far and they were all great. They helped me boost my career and my self-esteem. Not long after that I landed a job. Mentorship is about constant improvement, which is way I chose to stick with MentorCruise. Highly recommended!
Great Mentorship
I found a great mentor and at a very reasonable price. Having someone to bounce ideas off of and learn from is so valuable early on in your career. I would definitely recommend MentorCruise!
Mentorcruise is the best hands down!
Mentorcruise is the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm an advocate of structured mentorship and mentorcruise offers that and much more. I had a goal of working in Europe so I started working with my mentor there. 3 months later and I'm a product designer at a reputable company in Germany. I tried 4 mentors on mentorcruise and all of them were exceptional and unique. I'm currently still taking mentoring sessions with another mentor there as well. I have nothing but great stuff to say about this platform.
They ask me to INCREASE locked fee
They ask me to INCREASE the monthly fee. "Apply now. Lock in this price now!" - they say when you subscribe.
