Founded in 2010, Sabio is a tech training provider offering 13- and 17-week full-time coding bootcamps and a 21-week part-time bootcamp in Los Angeles, Orange County, and online. Sabio specializes in Mobile, Front End, Back End, Source Control, Database, and Development platforms across the full stack, and students can specialize in Node.js or .Net to help jumpstart their careers. By incorporating project-based learning into its curriculum, it offers students a comprehensive experience of all phases of software development. It was founded by tech industry innovators, and it is now taught exclusively by experts from companies such as Fox, Gamefly, Stack Overflow and TMZ.
Prior programming experience is not required, but applicants with prior experience are given a faster track. A technical assessment is available immediately or within four weeks of the 17-week program for full-time students. The application process at Sabio identifies motivated and engaged students from diverse backgrounds. Many past students have advanced degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, Musicology, Psychology, Finance, Mathematics, among others. It is essential that all applicants have a great personality, work ethic, and be able to solve basic logic problems.
Sabio's curriculum prepares students for entry-level developer jobs by incorporating a real-world project for a client and four weeks of career guidance. Prior to starting the intensive bootcamp, students receive four weeks of pre-work conducted by instructors. Every student at Sabio has access to extended mentorship and a five-year professional development program. Sabio instructors have over 100 years combined experience in software engineering. Small class sizes and expert instruction give students an edge when it comes to competing for jobs. A Sabio instructor must be an executive or C-level executive before teaching in the classroom, and must undergo an intensive vetting process. It provides students with a high-level education and a unique real-life perspective that prepares them for a more elevated career path.
A California-approved company, Sabio innovates based on market knowledge, experience, and expertise.
If you are self motivated with confidence to accomplish any task, I would recommend going to a different bootcamp. Reasons, you ask? Here are several top reasons:
1. Leadership - They operate from a sense of entitlement and authoritarianism, they are not there to serve but to be served. In my years of being a leader in other positions, I had never met leaders with such arrogance because they knew how to write code from their 10-15 years of experience, this attitude and action is ...
If you are self motivated with confidence to accomplish any task, I would recommend going to a different bootcamp. Reasons, you ask? Here are several top reasons:
1. Leadership - They operate from a sense of entitlement and authoritarianism, they are not there to serve but to be served. In my years of being a leader in other positions, I had never met leaders with such arrogance because they knew how to write code from their 10-15 years of experience, this attitude and action is a problem in the tech community. Rather than be of service by guiding gently, my cohort and I were met with a response of aloofness. Despite this being a major turnoff and my personal leadership wanting to put this pride to shame, I simply kept focused because google would not fail me in help. On the other hand, my cohort mates were left to wander and struggle through the wall, maybe they had add/adhd and were unable to read documentation like I did(who knows what people are going thru). Ultimately, many of my cohort mates did not really learn effectively and left bootcamp with a shattered sense of confidence ( I felt horrible for them and could not help them during bootcamp as I would have liked due to my own objectives during bootcamp, I cant be the instructor.)
2. Code - As previously stated, entitlement and arrogrance often leads to laziness. There source code was outdated and I believe it had not been updated for 3 years. We were not using the latest and greatest....Which leads you to ask? "If instructors are not coding and updating with the times, what in the world is the leadership doing? Besides getting a full belly.
3. Curriculum - The course program will ultimately teach you what you have to learn as far as basics. If you have the ability to learn quickly, by being given the basics which all coding bootcamps will do; ultimately you will learn how to think like a programmer and get a job. Now for some folks, they do not know how to think through major blockades or obstacles, maybe they do not have the life experience in order to overcome. This is where again leadership comes to play, in effectively helping students to think logically in approaching problem solving. This aspect, which could slow down a project was lacking. If you are not a problem solver, develop that before coming to this bootcamp, by solving your own coding problems with different exisiting free projects like freecodecamp and others.
4. Job - What matters to the reader..."Did you get a job?". I pivoted into being an entrepeneur which I will not disclose as this would allow leadership at this authoritarian bootcamp to discover my identity, I rather live in quiet and peace. However, I am writing this review in response to cohort members who still do not have jobs and are suffering economic struggle without the promised help of 5 year mentorship. That is a outright lie. As for me, I did end up finding something that pays at similar to higher levels outside of tech because of my experience at this disastrous bootcamp. I was able to navigate this negative environment and conquer my goals. If I could solve this disaster I thought, "I can do anything really". I ultimatelly decided a future in tech where I would have to deal with this toxic culture, which is coming to surface here with this review on Sabio but also companies like Google, FB, etc.
Out of my group of 10 plus, only three have come out with a job. Of those three that I know have a job. Two have denounced Sabio not even using them as references.
I leave you with the truth.
Believe the hype? or Truth?
