It was a pleasure dealing with Kevin. He was courteous, attentive and very capable. Addressed my issue immediately and did not keep me hanging on the line. I highly recommend your customer service. Elliot G

“Unethical business; Unauthorized charges; Run for the hills; Cannot get your money back!”

Srinivas N.
5/4/20

This is one of those unethical businesses that is around. I was charged $166 for 6-months membership without my consent. I tried to get the membership cancelled by writing to them a number of times, and called them few times. I have not received a single reply nor acknowledgement from the company. These kinds of businesses should not exist. I have never seen a business that starts with $0.99 and then switches you to 6 month membership costing $166. Somebody should put these people out of business. The CEO went to Columbia university, and has history of legal shenanigans. I cannot fathom how a reputed school can admit somebody like this. Accountability starts from the top. An organization is the reflection of its founders/management. Update: I got my refund, but still is NOT right.

Unprofessional, inept, and without merit. Poor communication, mistakes, excuses, failure to deliver on time or as agreed.

Ivy Exec is a scam that offers consulting fees for time and knowledge shared from industry subject matter experts but does not provide payment.

Ivy Exec is a NON ACCREDITED business (multiple complaints on BBB!) that has been stealing money from users.

They spam MBAs with "exclusive" invitations to join... they get these emails by accessing the school's internal directories and stealing the addresses from there.

The jobs they post are copied and pasted from the career pages of top companies, they tell you, you have to pay to apply and then redirect you to the original company site... when you ask what their added value is they say that HR knows those are Ivy Exec Candidates and they get extra attention. This is bs. Your resume goes into the same black hole as every other online applicant.

Then they charge you and refuse to give you a refund their excuse is that you had a free trial and you never cancelled... tricky cause they never email alerting you that your free trial is about to be over and you will be charged, if your school negotiated 6 months free after that period whether you like it or not if you don't remember to cancel your credit card is charged for 6 months of service.

If you see the logos of fortune 500 companies on their homepage, you would think those employers use Ivy Exec... not true... several of these corporations have tried the service for free and were disappointed, Ivy Exec uses those logos without authorization.

They spam people on LinkedIn and bait them by saying in order to view 'elite job posts' they need to use a credit card for verification. They end up charging people hundreds of dollars without telling them. Check out their reviews via Better Business Bureau and notice how they are not even an accredited business!

Multiple complaints do not lie (Especially ones on BBB), do a Google search on 'Ivy Exec scams' yourself and see just how many people have been scammed by these scumbags.

Check it out for yourself and make sure you warn others of Ivy Exec illegal and unethical billing practices.

Americans be warned, your credit card information is being sent to criminals in Serbia. PLEASE warn others over Ivy Exec!
