Hack Reactor by Galvanize is an educator for rapid career transformation, offering software engineering bootcamps designed so that anyone with motivation can succeed, regardless of education, experience, or background. Hack Reactor by Galvanize bootcamps are challenging and designed to fit a student’s schedule and skill level. Bootcamps include a 19-Week Software Engineering Immersive with JavaScript and Python, designed for beginners, as well as a 12-Week Software Engineering Immersive.
Applicants to the 12-week Software Engineering Immersive need to pass a Technical Admissions Assessment (TAA), which tests for intermediate coding competency. There is a free, self-paced bootcamp prep course that can be accessed to learn the fundamentals of JavaScript. Those applying for the 19-week program do not need to pass the TAA or take any prep courses. Applicants to all programs need to pass an aptitude test, a brief typing test, and an admissions interview.
In addition to its software engineering programs, Hack Reactor provides a large network of professional peers, 1:1 coaching, mock interviews, job training, and more. All students graduate as autonomous, full-stack software engineers, fully capable of tackling unique problems and building complex applications on the job. Hack Reactor alumni join a diverse, engaged network of fellow students, instructors, staff, and alumni, including 14,000+ graduates at 2,500 companies.

I recently graduated from HR. My background is a little different from that of my cohort-mates - I graduated from Stanford CS many years ago and have worked as a software engineer at two of Glassdoor's "Top 50 large companies to work for in 2017". I attended HR because 1) I was transitioning away from a non-technical role back into software engineering and needed a refresher and 2) because I wanted to grow in my ability to quickly hack together impressive/useful things from nothing.
Bearing in mind that I am not Hack Reactor's target demographic, I'll try to provide some high-level takeaways regarding my experience.
It's hard to compare HR ($20K, three months) to a college degree ($200K, four years) but I can confidently assert that the average HR graduate is better-equipped to contribute immediately as a fullstack software engineer than the average student who only took the Stanford CS core (CS106A/B/X, CS107, CS108, CS161) and web applications (CS142).
