Coach Darek at CodeBreakers is THE most helpful person I have met in my search for a Software Dev job. I am a Math major so I am already at a disadvantage to all the CS majors applying for jobs out there. After trying for a full time position for over a year I joined CodeBreakers where they retaught me the fundamentals of Data Structures and Algorithms, computational complexity and many other things like how to rework my resume and tips for interviews. The most helpful part of CodeBreakers is the mock interviews that they do once a week in the weeks leading up to your job interview. I cannot stress how much this helped me by giving me all the confidence I needed to go in and crush that next interview. After more than 30 onsite interviews, I was offered the position at the first company I interviewed at after completing my training with CodeBreakers. Cannot thank their team and all the coaches enough. I owe them my future.

I started at codebreakers during summer 2019 and my aim was to get a software engineering job at the top tech 4 companies even though I had no prior coding experience, the mentors at codebreakers really helped me in developing my coding skills in a timely and smart fashion. Practicing various problems to having regularly scheduled mocks I was put on the best hands at codebreakers.

I started this past fall recruiting for SWE internships on my own. I tried leetcoding on my own, but on top of schoolwork, extracurriculars and a lack of experience with interviews, I was both aimless and fearful. Then I got around to prepare through CodeBreakers (CB). The CB team not only took charge in helping me prioritize the concepts that were most important and relevant to my interviews, but also helped me manage my time effectively based on my personal interview timeline. The coaches were extremely helpful and patient in helping me go step by step through important algorithmic concepts from binary search to DFS/BFS, while constantly holding mock interviews with me to prime me for the formidable challenges of thinking on my feet. By the end of my internship search, I was able to land four offers successfully before Thanksgiving (I worked with CB starting the first week of October). In hindsight, I would not have landed a single offer and would have still been recruiting had I not gotten the help I needed from the CB team. In the end, time is the most precious commodity, and working with the CB coaches really saved me a lot of time that I would have otherwise spent in vain finding my own study material, researching the concepts, setting my own practice timeline, etc. I am really grateful to have had the chance to work with Darek and the CodeBreakers.

I started my interview preparation process a bit later than others would have, but CodeBreakers helped me get up to speed and cover everything I need to know to ace the technical interviews. There were some advanced data structures and algorithms I never learned in school, but I was familiar with the materials within a month, thanks to the program's effective coaching. The coaches also spotted my weaknesses and helped me improve them, and I was ready for interviews sooner than I thought and landed my FAANG summer internship. If you aren't sure if this is the program for you, talk to Darek! He genuinely wants to help you succeed and will tell you what you can achieve through CodeBreakers. Considering how much help I got, I know for a fact that I wouldn't have been able to land an internship without the help from him and the coaches.

I came from an Applied Math background so I understood the concepts behind data structures but never actually implemented them. CodeBreakers really helped guide me through the thought process behind the implementation. They have a go-at-your-own-pace structure which really allows students to focus on topics they don't feel comfortable with. After completing the CodeBreakers course, they will conduct mock-interviews to help you get comfortable with a coding interview environment, which I believe is invaluable.

Excellent experience. Be proactive about your learning and codebreakers will be there for you.

Coming from a non-cs background, I started learning Algorithms and Data structures from the ground up. Darek guided me on the right path and kept me motivated in the starting days. Honestly, I never even thought that I will get an interview at top tech companies. Now, I got an offer from a FANG company. The mock interviews I did with the coaches were invaluable. The course is very structured and coach Darek helped me to create a roadmap from beginning to getting an offer from a top company.

One of the best resources out there to prepare for a software engineer career.
