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.
This is a review after a couple of months graduating from Hack Reactor.
THE 6 MONTH HIRING RATE, THAT IS ON TOP OF 3 MONTHS OF BOOTCAMP AND AT LEAST 3 MONTHS THAT YOU SPENT BEFORE BOOTCAMP PREPARING. THAT IS A COMPLETE FULL YEAR... IN A COMPLETE FULL YEAR YOU CAN MOST DEFINATELY GET A JOB GRADUATING OUT OF ANY BOOTCAMP OR SELF LEARNING WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO DO BECAUSE HACK REACTOR DOES NOT TEACH PROPERLY, ONLY A BREEZE THROUH (they call it congorour, I call it flipping pages in ...

THE 6 MONTH HIRING RATE, THAT IS ON TOP OF 3 MONTHS OF BOOTCAMP AND AT LEAST 3 MONTHS THAT YOU SPENT BEFORE BOOTCAMP PREPARING. THAT IS A COMPLETE FULL YEAR... IN A COMPLETE FULL YEAR YOU CAN MOST DEFINATELY GET A JOB GRADUATING OUT OF ANY BOOTCAMP OR SELF LEARNING WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO DO BECAUSE HACK REACTOR DOES NOT TEACH PROPERLY, ONLY A BREEZE THROUH (they call it congorour, I call it flipping pages in the book only reading headings) WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH TO GET A JOB.
Also more than half of students are already CS Grads or Engineering grads or have worked in the industry before so they bring the salary figures up. MAJORITY OF THE GRADS WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OR EDUCATION IN TECH DO NOT GET 105 THOUSAND IN SF WHERE AVERAGE BEGINNER SALARY IS AROUND 100K ANYWAYS. Other places have much lower salary figures.
There is nothing different or special about hack reactor apart from they take students who already know JavaScript to a very good level.
All bootcamps teach the same material ie start from JavaScript revision then you build a front end then a back end and then you join them together.
Hack Reactor does not go over the foundations of any of these so you will be left with head spinning, knowing only partial picture of some stuff which used to work 4 years ago when there was such a shortage of developers that if you knew a,f,g,z they would give you a job thinking you will learn the rest. THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANYMORE.
THEY EMPLOY TRICKS LIKE OFFSHORE COMPANIES THAT SPECIALIZE IN WRITING FAKE REVIEWS AND THEY WRITE MANY FAKE REVIEWS THEMSELVES. YOU WILL SEE WHERE THERE ARE A FEW BAD REVIEWS THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY DROWNED BY FAKE GOOD REVIEWS PLEDGING ITS THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER DONE. I searched the profile of one in google review and they were based in China and writing 5 star reviews by the hundreds in a single day of resturants and busineess all over the world.
IF YOU DONT SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND THROW YOUR 18000 THEN ONLY YOU ARE TO BLAME...
