Great program to kickstart your engineering career—but you have to do the work!
Before I go into detail, I want to make it clear that this is a 12-week course. You can't learn everything in 12 weeks. You should go into this knowing that you're going to pull all-nighters, cry, and become frustrated—but you have tons of support and resources available to you, so take advantage of it!

You should go into this knowing that you're going to pull all-nighters, cry, and become frustrated—but you have tons of support and resources available to you, so take advantage of it! I enjoyed GA's course. I feel like we learned all of the things that we'd want to learn from an instructor and not on our own. This is an incredibly fast-paced class. I was in the remote program due to COVID, and my course was M-F, 9-5. The work doesn't stop at 5. Expect your 40-hour week to actually be 80+. PROS: You'll be exposed to in-demand technologies, languages, and frameworks such as JavaScript, React, and Python. My class had 2 instructors and 2 instructor associates. We also had 2 TAs who spent their evenings with us for help 7 days a week. Everyone is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. I never felt intimidated asking for help. You'll also have career support after the program ends. We had 4 projects to help build out our portfolio. One project was a group project, so I was able to work on a team and get that experience which is obviously useful in the real world unless you're working for yourself. You'll come out of the program as a full-stack engineer, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. CONS: This is a 12-week course, so you're not going to be job-ready at the end. You're going to learn just enough to be able to continue learning the rest on your own. You've got to make extra time to practice, and you're going to get burnt out. This is a BOOTCAMP. I felt that the curriculum could've been structured a bit better. We hardly spent any time learning data structures and algorithms, which is the main thing that you need to ace during a technical interview. We only spent 1 week learning React, which is unfortunate since it's the most in-demand library in the industry. We also never went over hooks, functional components, or Redux. We only spent ~1 week learning Python—again very unfortunate since that's in-demand as well. I don't feel comfortable having Python as a language on my resume at this point. You'll want to blame the instructors, but please don't—they're doing what GA is telling them what to do. We also only had one mock technical interview—it would've been great to have more since that's very intimidating for new engineers. There wasn't really any focus on CSS frameworks, so you'll need to learn those on your own. GA reuses their course notes, which is expected... but many times they weren't updated. Generally speaking, it wasn't a huge deal until we got to PostgreSQL. You're encouraged to code along during lecture (muscle memory works!!), however, it's very fast-paced, so you're going to fall behind at some point, but that's what the notes are for. It was very frustrating when we were learning PostgreSQL, because our notes referenced SQLite. This was crammed into the week that we learned Python, so it was an absolute nightmare. The instructors even told us not to refer to the notes for PostgreSQL since the notes were wrong. It can't be that difficult to update the notes, right? When you graduate from this course, you'll be ready to apply for an internship, apprenticeship, or junior-level role. If you're in this because you think you're gonna make bank after 12-weeks, you should get on Glassdoor and check the salaries in your area for junior-level engineers. This isn't necessarily a con because you have to start somewhere, but just know that going into it. I wanted to review their Outcomes program separately. Outcomes is GA's career support, and you'll be paired with a career coach. It was frustrating to attend the Outcomes class during the week—and especially during project weeks. I wish the program would've been voluntary up until you graduate. The program is awesome and super beneficial to folks who have little to no job experience. You'll learn how to craft a resume and build out your brand, and you'll learn best practices for using LinkedIn and networking. However, if you've been working professionally for some time, you'll find this frustrating because you've likely been doing that already. That being said, once you graduate, the Outcomes program is so super incredibly helpful. You've got to meet certain criteria to remain in the program. Expect to spend around 20 hours a week applying for jobs. You'll also be expected to attend networking events. This is all up to you. You're not going to get handed anything, but you'll be coached and given the tools you need to be successful. You'll also have access to GA's direct job recommendation process. Essentially, they've got a Partnerships team that literally acts as a Sales Team to find open roles for GA grads. If you meet the criteria for one, you can actually get a written recommendation for it. I know that I listed a ton of cons, but overall, it was a really great experience. I'd definitely recommend GA to anyone looking to make a career change. You can't do this by yourself. Just know that you have to continue doing the work after class ends. You've got to make time to practice during the week, and you can forget about self-care! But, you're going to have an amazing and supportive group of folks including the instructors, TAs, career coaches, and your entire cohort. You reap what you sow. To answer the burning question that you likely have—it took me 23 days to find a job as a full-stack web developer at a great company. I applied for 38 jobs, had 3 interviews, and had one offer. The offer that I accepted had a great starting salary for where I live (NYC)—it was more than what I expected and an awesome benefits package. I was very strategic about my job search, and for this particular job, I actually met all of the requirements because I had engineering experience prior to GA. For some folks, it might take a year to find a role, and that depends on tons of factors that GA may not even have control over such as your location and specific career goals. I'm very happy to have chosen GA, and I think that it's 100% worth the $15,000 price tag. - SoniaBrand Manager • Digital Marketing (Part-time) • SydneyVerified by LinkedInMay 04, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Fast forward to my General Assembly experience, I graduated from the Software Engineering Immersive program where I developed skills in JavaScript, React, Ruby on Rails, and other technical skills that allowed me to build four projects over the course of the twelve-week full-time program. The amount of support provided during the program was absolutely amazing and next to none. I really felt cared for during the class with the instructors, teaching assistants, and classmates. GA is a wonderfully collaborative community.
After graduating, my career coach Anna stuck by my side for an entire year until I got a job in tech (at General Motors as a Software Developer!). It took a little longer to find work due to the pandemic, but Anna and the entire GA community are extremely dedicated to seeing you succeed. I am extremely excited about my new job and will continue to grow and learn within the field of technology long after my experience with GA! - SeanSoftware Developer • GraduateVerified by GitHubApr 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

All of the instructors do a wonderful job from the get go setting expectations and guidelines and really help and support you through the course. Yes the course is difficult and fast paced but it is designed to get you job ready in 3 months and teach you all of the necessary skills, not just coding skills but all of the soft skills you need to succeed in this industry as well. The material is very challenging but it needs to be to get you job ready in 3 months, if you ever find yourself looking for even more of a challenge the instructors are always willing to find ways to help you push yourself even more. The job assistance portion of the course is wonderful as well, weekly meetings with your classmates and a career coach to go over how to break into this field from an employees perspective is invaluable. You also get 1:1 time with your outcomes coach to go over personal career goals as well. Overall I would recommend GA to every person in the world trying to break into tech, it changed my life in so many ways I cant even describe and I will always value my time there as a student. - Carlos GodoyGraduate • 2.

It is so rewarding to graduate knowing that I gained valuable skills and can now build beautiful, functional web applications. This has opened so many doors for my life and my career. GA has a hefty price tag but what it did for me is invaluable. Attending GA was scary but easily the best move I have ever made for myself.
They teach you two complete tech stacks as well as computer science topics that cover both data structures and algorithms. They teach you how to think like a programmer, by breaking every step down to the smallest piece, which makes large undertaking less intimidating. They also teach you how to fend for yourself online. You need to continue learning post course to keep up with new technology and deepen your understanding of the technologies you are using and they set you up for that. The outcomes coaches are the best! Not only are they your cheerleaders when you feel beat up by the heavy material but they also help set you up to make an online presence for yourself. They helped me do the stuff I loathe doing, like revamping my resume and social media, and it has made all the difference. - Esin SaribudakOnlineVerified by GitHubApr 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The Outcomes career-coaching portion of the course was invaluable as well. The best part was being in a cohort with around 20 other students, who were my first community in tech, and it's also been great to continue connecting with the incredibly wide GA alumni network post-course.
The material is definitely challenging, and there were many long nights and weekends that I spent coding and learning more things on my own in bootcamp. You get as much out of it as you put into it, and expect to work very hard post-course to land the role that's right for you. But the skillset taught is highly sought after, and the immersive gives you the tools you need to build fullstack applications. Overall, studying in the company of others interested in programming and learning from some of the best teachers out there was an incredible experience, and gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to transform my career. - Ray VelasquezSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Software Engineering Immersive Bootcamp (Flex) • OnlineVerified by GitHubApr 24, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After a COVID-19 sabotaged my ability to attend college and work full time, I thought my dreams of breaking into the software industry were going to be seriously delayed. Fortunately, I was able to get enrolled in the three month immersive program and get my goals back on track for less money than I would have spent on my degree!
It is still amazing to me to go back and look at my skill level when I started vs my skill level when I completed the program. I came into the bootcamp with a very basic understanding of html and css and I had maybe written a few lines of javascript in YouTube code alongs. But I really had no idea what I was doing. By the time I completed my capstone project, I was able to teach myself React Native, build a full-stack mobile application and get it launched on the Google Play Store in two weeks time. It was invaluable to be able to tackle the challenges of learning to code with a group of like-minded individuals who were just as hungry as I was to make a life out of software development. I felt continuously supported by the great instructional team with GA and when I found myself ahead of the pack a few times, the instructors were quick to provide additional challenges and goals to allow me to keep growing as quickly as I could. The single most valuable thing I think I gained from my experience was a strong software engineering foundation that allows me to learn whatever technologies I want with confidence.
I considered a number of bootcamps before deciding on General Assembly and I think the deciding factor was the proven track record that GA has for consistently giving their students the skills they need to land that first job. If you are wondering where you should go and are overwhelmed by the variety of choices, look no further. You will not regret the decision to enroll at General Assembly! - CallaGraduate • 3.
