EDIT: almost forgot to mention! 90% grad hire rate has FINE PRINT. 90% of graduates with ALL BLACK BELTS (3 people per cohort achieve this usually on each exam) get hired within 3 months. Real graduate hire rate (all graduates) must be extremely low. EXTREMELY low. like 3 out of 30 getting a job low.

What a nightmare AND waste of money. I had the misfortune of (unknowningly) attending Coding dojo at the peak of their "transition" from one location to another. Way too many students were shoved into one room, and some days I would come in and not even have a seat to sit at. This school will expand until there are zero seats left in a building, all while neglecting those already occupying said seats.
PROS:
- Anyone can come here. Literally anyone. Some people in the building struggled with even opening some of the programs we used. This may be a pro if you are just looking to learn how to code for over $11,000.
- They have a ping pong table.
-Sometimes they have snacks.
CONS:
- H O R R I B L E internet. Imagine the worst connection you've ever had, then multiply it times 100 people in a room. The leader of the bootcamp put himself in charge of fixing the internet, and chose not to notify any higher-ups. This led to (almost) no internet for about 6-7 weeks. CRAZY. They sort of deflected the blame towards us, and how we needed to turn off our cell phones. Later we found out it was because it was done by hand by an employee who was not an IT proffesional.
- Huge class size, tiny room. They are moving into a new floor, so thats all going to change for future students, but sadly I attended at the wrong time. Very noisy environment, and the teachers choose to stay off doing their own thing most of the day so don't expect intervention - unless you are one of the chosen students they pluck out of the class and give a real education to.
- The instructors are former employees. Most of the teachers at my location had zero experience in tech 2 years ago. They took the course, and then got picked up by the school. They don't have the best teaching skills, so imagine a young substitute teacher being your instructor. This is the coding dojo way.
-Instructors don't know very much outside the realm of the curricullum. I took a python course (not knowing this was also a first time oferring) and my T.A. HAD NEVER TAKEN PYTHON. He couldn't help anyone in the class. He would just shrug off your questions and say "sorry, I didn't take Python".
-Really need to study today? Too bad! Suprise open house going on at 6 PM. Please keep your voices down so we can pitch our school to more students. Don't forget the occasional "tech talk". My favorite tech talk was the gentleman who came in and began discussing his mother's drug addiction when he was a child for 40 minutes, and then taking a few question. [This really happened]
-Choose your own stacks? False. Ignore the pamphlets. They recently fixed the website so you don't make this mistake like almost everyone in the building had upon sign up. They choose your classes.
-Teachers are always in "meetings" with other teachers, so they can never really make time for you unless you have about 45 minutes to spare waiting for them. This is the Coding Dojo Mantra. Struggle on your own. You'll figure it out.
I could go on and on forever, and have no problems doing so if anyone wants an update or wants to ask something. Please do not make the same mistake me and 30+ other people in my cohort did. Almost everyone dropped out, maybe 3 people have jobs. Learn online, go to a traditional college, or find a legit bootcamp - but after this i'm not sure there is such a thing. :/
