When inquiring about the company they talked it up and made a lot of promises about job placement. When it came time to it, there were no connections to help students work their way into a position. The other issue I had was that as we were working our way through two of the three programs, the material was being created or developed (C# and Angular specifically ). The platform was a mess and made following any instruction hard (literally bouncing back and forth). It was a good intro to programming but for the money very expensive.

The platform need to be updated. There was plenty of time where I learned something the wrong way and spend countless hours doing it wrong. I also went into the program believing that career service was going to be something helpful where you could potentially get a job coming out of the program. I was also told on the phone interview (before paying) that 97% percent of the people that graduate from the program would find a job in the field. When in fact only a handful of my classmates ended up getting a job. I also tried reaching out to the career service after graduation to see if I could get a little more guidance but they have refused to answer my emails.

I would not recommend this program to anyone, unless they already have a computer science degree. I would recommend Galvanized probably. The biggest challenge is that they are not teaching what is actually available for junior developers to gain employment. I think it is highly unethical that they would get paid money from Microsoft and encourage students to learn .Net Core instead of Java. I think that they should be offering PHP as well. The program says that they graduate full-stack developers, but I doubt anyone could actually do deployment on their own or build their own microserver. I would also say that since I completed the program 80% of graduates are still unemployed. I have not heard from my career services person 1x. I think that this program false advertise and I cannot wait to join the class action law suit that I have been hearing about from other unemployed students. This program is totally unethical. I have tried to contact instructors and gotten no responses at all. I have gone back and tried to visit and everyone was rude and acted like I was not welcomes.

Not a good experience at all with the instructors and the experienced on campus. I was NOT PLEASED with the lack of attention to instructing me as a student - especially after I tried to ask for help. Instructors were never around to help, nor were they able to assist with the learning lessons. I would NOT RECOMMEND to other future students. It was a waste of time for me to invest money and time into this school. PLEASE go else where if you want to learn programming!!!
