I know this is an old post, but I just found out about the Formation Fellowship today. I was interested until I saw its price. With all of these good [reviews](https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-review-of-Formation-dev), why is nobody talking about its price point? For junior eng

Hey, I don't want to throw off the vibe of the thread, but I'm the co-founder of Formation and can give my take. 1. we only work with people we feel confident will succeed with our training and 2. if you do your part, you have our full arsenal of support (technical and behavioral mentorship, and a shoulder to cry on as well) until you get a job you are happy with. The result is that the vast majority of people genuinely have incredible/great outcomes. A small number have good outcomes that they are happy with but make some tradeoffs.
I would highly recommend contacting any current or former Fellow with a similar background to yourself and find out about their day to day experience, that's the best way to evaluate any program.
The secret: nothing and no one is perfect, there are numerous things we are trying to improve every day, but we have a one-of-a-kind unique program with legitimately crazily qualified team members (principal E7+ Facebook engineers - each with unique super powers - and some who taught others how to conduct interviews). Not a single other program has such as strong team. Hands down.
