Pros:
1) Lots of information can be learned from the instructors when you are onsite
2) They cover lots of coding information in a short time. Their learning platform is loaded with lots of information
3) Length of time the bootcamp runs for is just right
4) Some of the instructors are really good at teaching
5) All of the instructors are really good at coding
Cons:
1) Instructors change often between classes...
Pros:

5) All of the instructors are really good at coding
Cons:
1) Instructors change often between classes. This causes difficulty in transitions.
2) Lots of instructors are learning their class for the first time. This means, they aren't often ready to teach it properly based on where the technology stands today.
3) Lectures are infrequent and, with the wrong instructor, might never occur. This reduces the significant benefit of onsite bootcamp versus the remote.
4) Platform information is often wrong and the feedback system for it is poor.
5) Classroom communications are often poor. When a lecture is done, most instructors don't record or give a means of reviewing this information.
6) When learning platform changes occur, it is rarely communicated to those currently using the learning platform.
7) Wireless works terribly throughout the entire building. They have no support staff onsite so if it breaks be prepared to go home.
8) Often times, you will be in a rotating classroom as they are overfilling the classes. This means, you might be rotating around the building each week.
9) What snacks they have is not well coordinated. There are numerous times where there is nothing available as they keep trying to order low to reduce costs
10) Numerous days will be interrupted by the staff as they decide they want to do an investor walk-through that day. This will happen several times through the bootcamp and without warning
11) Algorithms are done in a haphazard way. No structure is there, no real assignments are ever given, it is treated as an after-thought and has no real instructor or curriculum. Don't expect much here.
12) Exams are done with the need to deploy, but this is often note tested properly before exam time.
13) Instructors are often in meetings with the other staff numerous times through a given day. This means, you won't have your instructors handy for questions or assistance a lot of times.
14) You don't get to chose your instructor and the instructor for a topic can change each month (see earlier complaints about instructors)
Conclusions:
The idea Coding Dojo has for teaching students to code in a short time is a great idea. As it stands right now, the cost of the onsite bootcamp does not make sense over the remote options. The structure of the classes, lack of consistent lecturing and documenting of projects and assignment, and lack of onsite coordination makes the onsite option undesirable. With some efforts on keeping the class sizes to a max threshold, ensuring the teachers are ready for the classes they are teaching, and making sure the facilities are maintained by professional support staff they could really create a proper and functional classroom experience. As it stands today, I would recommend looking at other institutions or consider their remote options if you are in the Seattle area.
