I came out of the program and found work as a Microsoft contractor a few months later. It worked. It was hard. That said, this program and most other bootcamps are not for everyone. The program tries it's best to be inclusive and fun and all that, but the sad hard truth is most people who attend shouldn't waste their time and money.

I came out of the program and found work as a Microsoft contractor a few months later. It worked. It was hard. That said, this program and most other bootcamps are not for everyone. The program tries it's best to be inclusive and fun and all that, but the sad hard truth is most people who attend shouldn't waste their time and money.
There are really only 3 types of candidates:
1) People with no exp whatsoever, who are just chasing that mythic job for dollars, often with no higher education experience
2) Mid 20's people who got degrees in something they don't use, are tired of their current jobs.
3) Seasoned tech professionals who just don't know modern web stacks/languages.
The people who will be successful are group #3 and people from group #2 who are driven/hard working enough. The rest are the types who are probably the naysayers leaving negative reviews. Most of the time it's not an issue of ability, but one of expectation. People who haven't been through college often don't understand the hours/effort required to truly learn something. A lot of people who did go to college don't understand what it actually takes to get hired, and just assume (incorrectly) that showing up and getting a piece of paper is enough to get a job.
The building is crappy - but you don't go to have a nice building. You go here to learn. People who judge a program based on anything else are just acting spoiled.
The instructors are great, each one has a different angle. Jack has an amazing ability to communicate algorithms/time complexity. Ray is very caring and patient, and can explain things to people with no technical background in ways which make sense to them, if it still doesn't, he'll find a way.
All that being said - the program is getting too greedy. They keep expanding class sizes with each cohort - and it's gotten out of control. Last I checked, their new class had 50 students. Ideally, 15-20 quality students is about right per instructor. The bootcamp needs to do a far better job with 'vetting' candidates to their bootcamp.
Had I known about this practice I probably should have went to Galvanize or something like that - they actually require real tests/assignments before being accepted, and a friend in the current cohort only has 15 people in it - although their price tag is far less affordable.
The Job assisstance was actually better than I expected, it definitely got rid of a lot of erroneous assumptions I had about finding jobs/the hiring process, and I say this as someone with an Engineering degree with professional experience.
The coding experience itself is enough to get you going - it provides enough tools that you can go and learn on your own afterwards, but the program is by no means enough on it's own to snag you a job - it's up to you after that.
