What Aced does

Most of the site is about rehearsing the interview itself. You can answer out loud to an AI interviewer that grades you against rubrics and gives feedback, or set up peer-to-peer mock interviews with other candidates preparing for the same role. For a session with someone more senior, vetted coaches can be booked for mock interviews, resume feedback, negotiation help or career advice.

Study material sits alongside the practice. Courses are taught through video lessons from hiring managers and technical leads, with tracks for product management, software engineering, engineering management, data science, machine learning and investment banking. A question library can be filtered by company and role, and it is paired with firsthand interview experience reports and guides to each company's interview loop. An AI coach named Ace explains concepts, builds a study plan and preps you for a specific interview.

The rest covers the job search around the interview: a resume gallery with templates, job boards, referrals and a members-only Discord community. The free Basic plan gives sample lessons, sample questions and basic referrals. Pro opens all courses and unlimited peer mocks, and Expert adds AI mock interviews and the AI coach. Memberships renew automatically, and the site offers full refunds within 5 days of purchase.
