    Best decision I've made

    The structure of the course helped me learn Full stack web development in a way I couldn't on my own, and in a way I could afford (going through an ISA program). Now I can confidently learn any programming concept thanks to Lambda. I recommend always putting what you learn each week into side projects to learn even more and stand out.

    Great full stack web development program

    I would recommend Lambda School to anyone without hesitation. I began Lambda School's part-time full stack web development program in January 2020, simply as a way to follow my passion and curiosity for tech/web development without any economic risk (because of the income share agreement). After I completed the curriculum in March 2021, I accepted a fellowship with a startup, and was offered a full time position at its conclusion, which I accepted. The curriculum and student experience d...

    Bait n Switch

    I've been a student since May 2020 and in the beginning everything was great and what I was hoping for. The TLs were great, lectures we awesome and the students were very helpful when anyone needed help. 

    Fast forward 4-5 months and things are not the same. Lambda switched up alot of things. They've done away with TLs l, which alot of students valued when it came to 1:1s for code review. The positive and constructive feedback would only better ourselves to become better developers...

    Unsatisfied with Management

    This program was great until it wasn't. I had been withdrawn after only inquiring about withdrawing, I was only seeking information, but they have decided to move forward with the process. So after snapping out of a depressive state from me losing my job from Covid-19, losing a parent, and while all being pregnant,  I sent a letter of appeal, for them to still not work with me and have not have the best open communication, whereas I wouldn't hear anything for a week so it prolonged every...

    The Bottom Line

    Opinions about Lambda vary but I'll outline the bottom line.  Is Lambda perfect?  No.  In any organization?  No.  Will Lambda get you where you need to be if you put in the time?  Yes.

    For me a program like Lambda needed to do one thing: give me enough experience to get my foot in the door with jobs that were previously inaccessible. There are rough spots in the curriculum and organization but at the end of the day I have gained the skills needed to find work in my desired field. ...

    The best decision!

    I had been working in hotel management for about 6 years when I decided to pursue my passion for technology and problem solving and become a software engineer. I looked at many options from University, State College, Online University, and bootcamps.  There are so many options to choose from but after research I knew the bootcamp route was the one for me. I researched and found the best bootcamps for me, put together pros and cons and ended up choosing the Full time Full Stack Software Eng...

    Major career upgrade

    I am going to just say this may not be for everyone.

    That being said if you don't put in the work you will not succeed, there is ever opportunity to get you where you need to go, and even if you are new and not sure you can do it there are people that will help you every step for every level no one who is willing to get put in the work gets left behind, Lambda does a lot to make sure the students are getting the support they need to succeed, this only works if you do.

    Lambda completely changed my life!

    After accepting a job offer today that has completely changed the direction of my life for the better, I have an immense feeling of gratitude toward Lambda School. My base salary has gone up almost 3.5x from my former career as a teacher in San Francisco!

    I decided to join Lambda School on a whim and honestly, it was something I stumbled into by chance from a series of events that happened over a couple of weeks that led me to meet a Lambda student who referre...
