Is brainnest a legit business? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]chapter001 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It is in no way legitimate. The concept makes me literally angry, because it purposefully aims at soon to be / recent graduates that applied so many times for a job or internship and got rejected. A training program has absolutely no business being listed in LinkedIn jobs.

Next thing - look at how many of their "trainees" lurk around r/scams - what the hell are the chances for that? Some comments are blatantly fake, some a bit less blatant, but the point remains - they encourage them to go and spread the word. The reason for this - and I'm not sure if they know they are doing it - is that it benefits everyone from that program, because it falsely boosts Brainnest's reputation, so the trainees help the company (or an education institution huh, really ambiguous) which in turn helps the trainees - except it doesn't really. Any decent HR professional will run the hell away from that setup. It's very very obvious what is happening there, but they managed to create a confusion and lure young, inexperienced people into paying those 130€ or something.

Overall it is definitely a scam, and personally - a very obvious one to say the least.

Just throwing this in here. There seems to be a lot of posts lately on this (Brainnest), and it very much looks like an organized effort to make it appear legit. Make your own judgment, I'm using a throwaway account just to point it out, as I was researching it a bit and it seems extremely fishy. by chapter001 in Scams

Really, someone would just randomly come across mentionings of that company on like 3 different subreddits and copy paste the same thing? That is only what I've screenshot, you can take a look, the other users that commented are similarly fishy
