    Great course

    The bootcamp was very helpful and the instructors were exceptional in delivering the algorithms and system design concepts.Assignments,tests and mock interviews helped me a lot in clearing the interviews.

    Patterns and Thought process

    I want to really understand the concepts and patterns that would help me solve any question. IK's instructor did a superb job of providing in-depth explanations of the patterns and thought process that you should use to arrive at the correct solution, no matter the algorithm or design problem.  Highly recommended!

    My honest review

    2 years back I gave a atleast 10 onsites which had system design and literally bombed every design interview so I was looking for a course that taught me how to learn architecture and system design. I had searched everywhere and read a few books on it but never understood how to answer design questions. I was lucky to have found IK because they teach system design from the absolute basics, they have some really great teachers and what I really love in their curriculum is the daily office...

    Every experienced Engineer should take this!

    I have so many good things to say about this course that I don’t even know where to begin so I’ll start with the obvious. The main goal of this course is to get students ready for the tech industries most difficult technical interviews. Interview Kickstart easily excels at that objective, but why? Because they give you a very clear defined structure around all the classifications of algorithms you'll most likely need to be familiar with for technical interviews. They give you a process a...

    Career guidance service

    IK has four strong pillars. Foundations videos go broad and deep. They teach concepts. Live sessions reinforce the concepts with concrete examples. Tests (practice and timed), they provide the practice required to perform in interviews. The most important of all is getting the feedback on your journey. That is mock interviews. The recipe to make oneself successful in next career move is packed into this course. Of course practice and following through curriculum is the key. The support p...

    Software Engineering Interview Prep

    Sigh....where do I begin.

    My journey as a software engineer has not been an easy one. After graduatiing from undergrad a long time ago, I realized that if I was ever going to use the math skills I possessed I was going to have to learn how to program. Given there were no boot camps at the time (it was so long ago :P ), I did the next best thing and went back to school, finding a year long masters program for Computer Science. In hindsight, that program, in its in...

    Engineering Manager Bootcamp

    The course is very costly and we don't get enough value for the money. Career coach does not really perform any work and does not guide you as well. I was part of Engineering Management course in the past and it really did not help me for my career growth/expansion.

    Great technical content and best service

    I have watched several youtube videos for technical content, but IK's teachers and their content is by far the best and their support staff makes it even better. They are available 24/7 and resolve issues immediately. Overall I am glad to be part of this program. Special thanks to Ankita Kaura, and Ashish Kumar for making onboarding a very pleasant experience.

    Great Refresher and Learning

    I registered for the Early Engineering Program. It is a great refresher and deep dive into programming concepts and techniques. My current position for the last 3 years has low-code everyday tasks. Therefore, this program has efficiently helped me get back into it.

    Aside from the hard skills, soft skills are also developed. Overall a great experience so far and looking forward to my remaining time here before I get into my dream(FAANG) company.
