Wow, I can't rave enough about the data analytics program! It was truly a great experience and opportunity. The insights I gained have transformed my work and personal life in ways I never thought possible. A gain new skills and a complete different mindset. I've become passionate about data-driven decision-making. My skills have skyrocketed, and my confidence has soared. This program has opened doors to new opportunities and taken my career to the next level. It's a game-changer, and I'm thrilled to be part of the data-driven revolution! Thank you General Assembly.

I really enjoyed studying with general assembly. I am desperate to switch my career into IT. But I didn’t get any internships in python language. If you help me to find out something for me any volunteer work or internships. I am so happy to work on it.

Culture is open and safe I love general assembly's culture that they've developed over the years. Students feel safe to learn, explore and ask lots of questions. The environment is all about collaboration and being active in learning.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaged the class.

It was a good learning experience. Our teacher was Jack Whittle

What they promise you is a shame the assistance finding a job is a joke the only people who seemed to care about their job is the teachers the other people don't even bother to speak to you if you can help it don't do this.

If you're considering enrolling in the General Assembly's Data Science Immersive program, I urge you to pause and reconsider. While the allure of a promising career in data science is strong, this program, unfortunately, falls short of its hefty price tag. Firstly, the cost of the program is exorbitantly high, and one would expect a high caliber of education and engagement in return. However, the reality is a stark contrast. The instruction quality is underwhelming, with the instructor often seeming disinterested, merely going through the motions as if wishing to be elsewhere. This lack of enthusiasm and engagement is not only disappointing but also detrimental to the learning experience. The program's purported value lies in its career placement support. However, this too is largely overhyped. The career advice provided is generic at best, lacking the personalized touch and insight one would expect from a program of this stature. As for career placement, it's more a facade than a reality. The job opportunities they forward are nothing more than formalities. A recruiter, in a moment of candor, even admitted to me that their hiring decisions were pre-made, and their engagement with General Assembly was merely to maintain the relationship with General Assembly. A particularly concerning aspect I discovered mid-program was the manipulation of employment statistics. General Assembly combines the employment results of their Data Analytics and Data Science Immersives to present a rosier picture of job placement success. This blending of statistics is not only misleading but also misrepresents the true outcomes for Data Science students specifically. Many graduates, including myself, found that the majority of job placements were in data analytics roles, which require a different skill set than what is taught in the Data Science Immersive. The marketing tactics employed by General Assembly are deceptive, painting an unrealistic picture of the program's outcomes. As someone who has gone through the program, my advice to potential students is straightforward: save your money and time. There are myriad resources and pathways to enter the field of data science that are more cost-effective and genuinely supportive of your career aspirations. General Assembly's Data Science Immersive, unfortunately, is not one of them.

I loved the instructor. The registration and onboarding process was confusing and the person who assisted me was quite rude. Finding a job after graduating the course has been extremely difficult. I was told there’d be help after the course with networking and finding new jobs which didn’t occur. I didn’t feel the cost justified what was provided.
