    A Great Choice

    I had an early midlife crisis of sorts when I realized I hated working in marketing. I became interested in learning to code, but I remembered how the entry-level computer science class I took in college beat me to a pulp, so I was hesitant at first. But since DevMountain was very close to where I lived, I figured it was worth a shot. After all, this sort of training is worth much more than a communications degree.

    I enjoyed my time at DevMountain. I learned so much, and learned ...

    Waste of money and time

    I had the same experience as the other bad reviews. The course was disorganized and the mentors that we worked with were former graduates with zero job experience and didn't know the answer to questions. Half of the class was spent working on projects with no guidance from the instructors. So you are paying for 6 weeks of poor instruction. The person you meet with to discuss concerns told me to use code lab or code academy if I wanted to learn. Recruiters won't talk to you once they hear you ...

    Hi Anonymous,

    I'm sorry you had an underwhelming experience. We're very happy with our mentors and the support that they give to students. It's proven to be an effective model time and time again as our students continue to get gainful employment upon graduation. If you are not one of these who's been able to get a job, please reach out to me directly and we'll get you on the path to employment as soon as possible. (cahlan@devmounta.in)

    Working on projects is a critical part of your development. We always have a team of mentors to help you work through problems in your projects, but it is absolutely essential that you get hands-on experience and a portfolio. Employers need to see evidence of what you can do and build, and during projects is when we see the most dramatic improvements in students' understanding and skill.

    I'm surprised with your assessments of recruiters being turned off by your affiliation with DevMountain, especially when our most recent hiring event in Provo two weeks ago (at the time of this writing) had the most employers (nearly 100) of any of our hiring events ever, with a handful of students receiving offers at the time of the event or within hours of the event being over.

    Again, I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience. Please reach out to me so we can make it right. (cahlan@devmounta.in)

    Well I have a great job now so...

    I first went to DevMountain a year ago and after going throught the course I was selected to be a mentor. I mentored for a class and a half and then worked for DevMountain Labs for a little while. I feel like DevMountain is a great place to learn for thoes that are willing to do all they can. Prepair for the course before by doing all the pre-course work and then some. When you go be willing to truly spend all your time working while at the bootcamp. If you do you will be rewarded with the...

    Best decision!

    I did a lot of research before applying to DevMountain. I'm from the Bay Area California where you can literally walk into a coffee shop and pitch your idea to some person you find sitting on a couch coding. With that being said, I had a lot of people to talk to in regards to Coding Bootcamps. I got mixed reviews with the usual outcome being, College grads (Engineers) with mixed feelings and self taught (Engineers) saying yes to Bootcamps. Prior to DevMountain I had taken college programmi...

    Not perfect, but pretty close

    First of all, I think DevMountain is worth every penny. I've been lucky enough to go from making about $10/hr before the course to over $60k/year after. If you do the math, that means the course paid for itself in about 3 months (it was a tiny bit cheaper when I went). That alone speaks volumes about the value you're getting from DevMountain. But for me, it wasn't just about the money. I wanted a career that I could stay in for the rest of my working life, and DevMountain gave me the skill...

    Life changing

    My experience at DevMountain in Dallas was incredible. The instructors and course work taught me in three months what would have taken me over a year or more to learn on my own, in addition to exposing me to technologies and frameworks I may have otherwise not knew even how to begin to learn.

    Don't think though that you can just go through the motions and magically understand everything though -- you get out of it what you put into it. They are very clear and upfront about this t...

    Well worth the investment!

    I came to DevMountain with almost no prior coding experience and 3 weeks after graduating landed a job as a developer with a 67% salary increase over my last job!  The boot camp was an intense experience, but not any more intense than a busy college semester, and it went by so quickly.  What is great about the structure of DevMountain is that you get a ton of hands-on experience just practicing building stuff with what you learn every day after lecture.  Then when personal and group projec...

    A Highlight of My Career & Education - Worth Twice the Price

    My experience at DevMountain was literally life changing and a highlight of my established career and education.  Prior to enrolling, I attempted to learn the basics of web development from YouTube, Team Treehouse, friends and other various tutorials. While there is a wealth of quality self instruction available on the internet, it is only accessible if you are fluent enough in the the syntax of development to take advantage of it. I would follow a tutorial and then get stuck at a "basic" ...

    Better Experience than My Degree from USC

    Three Months & A New Career

    DevMountain lived up to its offer of being able to start a new career after going through their intensive three-month web development program. It was a very tough course that required many hours and dedication for three months. However, those of us who successfully made it through learned much more than I thought could be done in such a short amount of time. I walked away feeling comfortable with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular.js, Express.js, Node.js, jQuery, Git, and MongoDB. We got a tas...

    An opportunity I wouldn't trade for anything.

    I recently completed the Immersive Web Development Cohort at DevMountain. Going into the program, I had strongly debated between Development or UI/UX, as I am a very big design guy. I decided that I was confident enough in my design skills and that I wanted to learn something completely new.

    The course at DevMountain opened up my eyes to so many new possibilities. I was nowhere close to being the best student, and honestly was probably in the bottom half of the group. However, I ...

    Definitely NOT worth it

    This course, or "cohort" as they called it, was riddled with inexperience, lack of preparation, and apathy.

    More often than not my class would arrive early ready and hungry to learn.  The instructor would show up 15 - 30 minutes late and start looking for what today's lesson was.  It was not uncommon at all for the instructor to just adlib his way through the material.  Material that he didn't know we would be covering that day until he walked into class.  Instructors would make ...
