I have just finished up with Hiring Day and am going into my last week here at Galvanize, SF in their Data Science Immersive 12-week program. I think that most of what I have to say will apply to nearly everyone in my class. Going into the program I was skeptical of what I was paying for and how much of what they were promoting is real. I'm hoping this review will clear some of that up. The program is exactly how they promote it and at the end of it most of my classemates and...
I have just finished up with Hiring Day and am going into my last week here at Galvanize, SF in their Data Science Immersive 12-week program. I think that most of what I have to say will apply to nearly everyone in my class. Going into the program I was skeptical of what I was paying for and how much of what they were promoting is real. I'm hoping this review will clear some of that up. The program is exactly how they promote it and at the end of it most of my classemates and I were discussing how happy we were that we took the plunge.
I'm not going to describe the course work and week by week nature of the course, there are plenty of blogs online written by students who were in the course (the school actually encourages it). If you are looking for one, one of my classmates has been writing about their experience here: http://www.jscottcronin.com/blog/
I'm wanting to talk about what I think is the biggest reason to attend Galvanize in particular versus some other bootcamp, the Staff. I think that this is their strongest asset and one that they continually try to improve upon. The instructors and TAs (or DSRs as they call them) are constantly available for help and doing everything they can to help you succeed. I had plenty of struggles throughout the course and anytime I needed some help I could ask a classmate (all of which are super smart and want to help too), if we couldn't figure it out there was a TA or a Instructor ready to help. During project time, a classmate of mine had one of the founders of the original school come and assist them with a problem they were having trouble with. There are people behind the scenes working to make sure that you are ready to put your best foot foward once you are done with this program, whether is it coaching, resume review, interview prep, anything you need. It feels as if everyone one in the building is pulling for your success.
As I said they are constantly trying to make sure everyone is getting the most they can out of the course. They give out assessments almost every week and try to talk to people who might be having trouble with certain topics. I've been the target of a couple of these. The only way you wouldn't be able to get help or assistance from the staff is if you went out of your way to avoid it. Even then, they'd notice and want to at least have a talk with you to make sure everything is going well.
When it came to presentation time, Hiring Day, and meeting with several companies I felt completely prepared. I know that I put in a lot of hard work myself, the course requires it, but the guidance and assistance I got whenever I asked was invaluable and something I know most, if not all, of the rest of my class can agree on.
They are there for you even after the program is done and their alumni even comeback to give guest lectures on various topics trying to help more people succeed the way they did. Knowing now the attention and energy the school, alumni, and building staff, puts into the success of their students, I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is even thinking about doing this program to go ahead and take the leap. I loved my experience here and want to keep that going wherever I go next.
