Just the best.
Codesmith is super intense, but seriously was the one thing that got me where I am today—a senior software engineer at a successful start-up. It doesn't just teach you the most important technologies you'll need to know, but also teaches you how to think, how to work in teams, how to think about software from a product perspective—all sorts of things you don't learn with a CS degree but are absolutely vital to success in software engineering. One of the most critical aspects of all this ...Codesmith is super intense, but seriously was the one thing that got me where I am today—a senior software engineer at a successful start-up.

One of the most critical aspects of all this is the job search module they do at the end—I was skeptical going in to the program about how useful that would be, but the job search skills I learned at codesmith are a lot of the reason why I found a job within 3 weeks of getting laid off, and many of my former colleagues are going months without bites. I'm not getting paid to write this review, I seriously rave about codesmith to anyone who's not sure how to break into tech. The price is definitely higher than a lot of other bootcamps, but for a good reason. I got my first software job three months after graduation, with total comp of about $160k. (I was definitely on the higher end of starting salaries, and the market was a bit better when I graduated in 2022, but I was also by no means an outlier.)Go for it! - AnonymousSoftware developer • Graduate • Full-Time Remote Software Engineering Immersive • OnlineMay 10, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I got a job
I graduated from Codesmith at a terrible time for entry level software developer jobs (they try to push you to apply for mid to senior level roles, and that works for a select few but the vast majority, including myself, are not qualified for that after just this program). Their application and interview style is honed and specific, so it must work for a lot of people, but I ended up kind of lucking into my job. But at the end of the day, I did get a job which was the point.

But at the end of the day, I did get a job which was the point.
I think Codesmith's curriculum is maybe more rigorous than others, which I appreciated. And the "final project" is much more impressive and technical sounding, which is what you're supposed to learn on when job hunting.
If you're gonna go the boot camp route, this is probably the top option. Their CS Prep and free workshops are also great to get your feet wet. - Maureen OnchiriSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Full-Time Remote Software Engineering Immersive • OnlineMay 07, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Choosing to enroll in Codesmith in 2021 was one of the most pivotal decisions of my life. After comparing Codesmith's outcomes on CIRR.org to other bootcamps, it was evident that this program was leagues ahead - I like to call it the Harvard of bootcamps :) From the free workshops, to the prep courses and the Software Engineering Immersive program, The depth and breadth of the course material were not only comprehensive but also finely tuned to meet the demands of the job market.

After comparing Codesmith's outcomes on CIRR.org to other bootcamps, it was evident that this program was leagues ahead - I like to call it the Harvard of bootcamps :) From the free workshops, to the prep courses and the Software Engineering Immersive program, The depth and breadth of the course material were not only comprehensive but also finely tuned to meet the demands of the job market. The transition to software engineering, although daunting, was made smoother thanks to the supportive and empathetic culture at Codesmith. The Codesmith community was a constant source of encouragement throughout my journey.
Moreover, Codesmith's commitment to accessibility through scholarships speaks to their dedication to fostering diversity and inclusivity within the tech industry. I was fortunate enough to qualify for one of these scholarships, which not only made it possible for me to become a software engineer, but also reaffirmed Codesmith's ethos of empowering individuals from all walks of life.
Fast forward to the present, and I find myself once again navigating the job market following a layoff. The Codesmith hiring team has offered guidance at every turn, even for alumni. From resume reviews to mock interviews, and even negotiations, the support I've received has been unparalleled. Thanks to their assistance, I've successfully secured not one, but three offers—a testament to the effectiveness of the resources and mentorship provided by Codesmith.
I cannot speak highly enough of Codesmith. My experience has been nothing short of transformative, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of such a remarkable community. I've already recommended Codesmith to friends and family members, all of whom have returned with glowing reviews of their own. If you're considering a career in software engineering, I wholeheartedly recommend Codesmith. - AnonymousSenior Software Engineer • Graduate • NYC Onsite Software Engineering Immersive • New York CityMay 04, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Strong community, very good value for what constraints Codesmith is working within!
I would say the social accountability, community and environment you're thrust into is #1 about the program. I did NYOI for this reason, to completely immerse myself and give it my all while I was there. Curriculum was alright, about what I expected but good nonetheless.

It's very hard to formulate and cover a curriculum that checks all the boxes of core topics (React/Node/Express/DBs), as well as more advanced things that are also important (Typescript, DevOps, testing, containers, systems design) in a 12/13 week span while MOST people coming into the program just about know a decent amount of JS programming fundamentals and what HTML/CSS is + but never really built a fullstack client/server CRUD app before (maybe this should be a prerequisite before entering into the program?). Jumping from just learning React for the first time w/ basics like JSX and props/state and Express building out a few simple HTTP endpoints to building a developer tool involving tech like Docker/Kubernetes or Terraform is borderline insanity looking back 😂. Some corners were cut along the way to make it through. You never really feel like you understand topics 100%. But that's what it takes to become a dev and I think it primes your mindset to jump in and get your hands dirty - that's where the real learning in engineering comes from. I made good friends from the program, remained in contact with my postgrad group up to 6 months post-grad until I landed a job. Overall I'm happy with my outcome and what I got out of the program! - Esther WitbeckSoftware Engineer • Student • Full-Time Remote Software Engineering Immersive • OnlineMay 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Shines in its post-graduation support
In short, I credit Codesmith with my pivoting from a non-tech role to a software position. It isn't perfect, nor is the curriculum as exhaustive as I would have liked, but the selection of material is solid and the post-graduation support was stellar. If you're willing to work beyond what they provide you, Codesmith can be an excellent resource.

It isn't perfect, nor is the curriculum as exhaustive as I would have liked, but the selection of material is solid and the post-graduation support was stellar. If you're willing to work beyond what they provide you, Codesmith can be an excellent resource.
I attended the remote full time program. Day-to-day activities were built around working through introductory modules (basically partially-premade code with an explanatory blurb and pointers to documentation) with one or two other students, followed by discussion and going over a working example. Activity is relentless, which is 1) good news for learning and 2) exhausting. The latter half of the program is centered around work on an 'Open Source Product' (ostensibly actively maintained and of a high technical caliber; in practice, maybe a little more of a proof-of-concept exhibition, depending) with a 4-5 person team. There's really a lovely sense of community that builds from going through all this with the rest of your cohort, and that sense (and enthusiasm) is what manages to hold the whole thing together.
Instructors tended to be sourced from the pool of previous students. As a result, we couldn't always rely on confident answers or responses coming from deep expertise. The program's emphasis on keeping with a current and relevant curriculum does, however, mean there are plenty of strong anchors for students to begin researching on their own and with others. After all, this is the skill Codesmith seeks to instill; once on the job, it's up to the engineer to find the answer, be it through familiar documentation, Google, or trial and error.
No three month program, no matter how intensive, is going to bring anyone up to the level of an undergraduate degree. Instead, Codesmith is focused on providing its students with the hands-on skills and gumption typical CS students might lack. I'm appreciative of how much the curriculum pointed us to industry standards. It may not be enough for, say, lower-level programming, but it's certainly enough to get projects off the ground and eventually up to a quality people will pay attention to. The curriculum is also focused on making sure its students are able to speak about their work in a compelling and informed way, which turns out to a be a crucial part of standing out when looking for a job. The goal is to output the kind of people you'd like to work with, and that goes a long way.
What makes me feel the most positively about the experience is the support provided for alumni. Codesmith invests in its network and offers it up to you (to the level that you're willing to engage). The program will set you up with other motivated alumni for accountability meetings, provide you with resume and interview guidance, and host networking events--all of which is provided indefinitely after graduation. Once you've left Codesmith's hyper-structured days, the job search seems exhausting and ten times as difficult in comparison. The extra support is a godsend.
As with most things, you get out of it what you put in. Bootcamp attendance is not a guarantee of employment, and it's still possible to struggle with the material once the 3 months end. Unsurprisingly, the strongest graduates were those who had studied previously--I recommend doing the same so that students can get the most out of the process of building a project and self teaching.
Given the worsening market conditions, I've heard many tales of 6+ (or even 12+) month job searches (mine was 7). Sometimes the job search is unlucky or outright hostile. But Codesmith continues to produce working software engineers and keep its alumni network running. I'm glad I made the decision to attend. - AnonymousStaff Software Engineer • Graduate • New York CityMay 01, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Codesmith changed my life
Being at the age of 36, I've made three best decisions in my life so far - and Codesmith was one of them.
On summer 2018 the restaurant where I was working as a bartender got caught on fire (true story). I was devastated because I really enjoyed working there, but at the same time I knew it was time for the change.

On summer 2018 the restaurant where I was working as a bartender got caught on fire (true story). I was devastated because I really enjoyed working there, but at the same time I knew it was time for the change. I've been working in the restaurant industry for 4 years at that point, and knew it wasn't my career path. With that, having absolutely no background in IT, being an immigrant with English as a second language, I decided to become a programmer.
One of my favorite questions during the interview - "Why coding?". If I'm the one to answer, I tell the story from my childhood. In early 90s, my mom set a program to limit our computer time up to 2 hours. Me and my brother cracked it in one day. We played games for the whole day, and then reset the timer back to 2 hours before she was coming back home from work pretending we didn't even turn it on. Another true funny story that my mom still doesn't know :)
Once I decided I'd learn how to code, I did my research and limited it to the three best coding bootcamps in NYC. I started to prepare, and if you're just in the beginning of this journey, I FEEL YOU. Don't give up, it'll all makes sense soon, I promise! Only after 3 months since I wrote my first "Hello, World" I actually got goosebumps and thought: "Ah... so this is IT". This is when I knew I felt in love with coding.
I got into all three bootcamps, but that was just to test myself as I always knew it was Codesmith where I wanted to learn. They had the best outcomes, the best teachers (I attended their workshops), amazing vibes in that cute sunny Downtown office, and overall I just felt it would be a match.
I started in April, and graduated in July'19. That. Was. Hard. If you want to succeed, you gotta drop your normal life and give your full focus to the course. One of the most important things - you gotta trust the process. I can tell you about my hesitations and panic all night long. I actually couldn't believe I'd get a job, like, seriously. But there is a way how, and people at Codesmith know it. Just trust the process - you're not the first one.
In a month after graduation I had a part-time job. 2 months later I landed a full-time offer which exceeded my highest expectations. I've been working at the huge financial company for 4 years, growing, developing and using Codesmith advices on a daily basis. My love to coding was finally mutual, and I felt very grateful every day.
In the end of 2023 due to relocation I was in the job market again - now on the West Coast - and even though you probably heard it's tough right now and all, I was able to land three great offers. I felt the crisis too, it's no joke, but I simply followed what CS taught me - yet again - and it paid off. I'm now a Staff Software Engineer at a pretty cool software engineering company, and can't be happier in life. - Anna L.Software engineer • Graduate • Full-Time Remote Software Engineering Immersive • OnlineMay 01, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best decision I ever made
When I joined Codesmith, I was looking to make a big change in my life - I was working in social work and deeply dissatisfied with the amount of return I was seeing in my career. I was scared to pursue coding, because I didn't think I was smart enough and thought it would probably be too hard.
While it was hard, the support and guidance I found in the Codesmith community was what helped me achieve my goals.

While it was hard, the support and guidance I found in the Codesmith community was what helped me achieve my goals. From the moment I attended one of their free classes on a weeknight until after graduation, I felt welcomed and excited to be part of a community that clearly felt so passionately about the success of the students. My hard work and investment was rewarded by the instructors and fellows who were just as invested in me. After graduating, I managed to find a job within a month. When I was laid off from that job, Codesmith was there to support me in finding a new role (which I found two weeks later). I went from not having written a line of JavaScript to employed as a software engineer in under a year.
My story isn't everyone's, but I know it wouldn't have been possible without Codesmith, their support, and their curriculum. I felt capable and ready to enter the workforce after graduating because I was provided with a deep understanding of how code works under the hood and I was able to communicate my choices and ideas professionally.

One con is that they pitch you being able to waltz into senior-level roles making 140k+ with no prior experience. This may have been true pre-covid, but is very rare in today's market. The average salary of our graduating class is significantly lower than it was a few years ago. That being said, everyone in my cohort who is working seems to be very happy and comfortable with their positions, their leveling, and what they're making.
