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.
Hack Reactor was an incredibly rigorous few months of hard work, but from what I saw you gain exponentially with how much work you're willing to put in.
The curriculum is tough but doable. It felt at times like it was moving too fast and I wasn't absorbing things, but I wound up surprised at how much I know (and now have time to go over the finer details, or the confidence to know I can learn it on the job).

Hack Reactor was an incredibly rigorous few months of hard work, but from what I saw you gain exponentially with how much work you're willing to put in.
The curriculum is tough but doable. It felt at times like it was moving too fast and I wasn't absorbing things, but I wound up surprised at how much I know (and now have time to go over the finer details, or the confidence to know I can learn it on the job). There were a couple of curriculum hiccups, but they're always asking for feedback and making improvements so I feel sure that they'll be straightened out before the next iteration (though the next generation may have to go through some new issues for the sake of the future as well). I don't think they could be the program they are without this process.
The staff is knowledgable and caring, but they're training you to be independent engineers and you shouldn't expect a ton of hand-holding. You definitely have to be disciplined and motivated enough to push yourself through the tough times. And there will be tough times, but it's worth it for what you can learn and the people you'll meet. And that's really one of the biggest draws - I got to meet and work with all these amazingly smart, driven people from all over, that I'd never have come across otherwise but am so happy I did.
