I would try contacting people on LinkedIn that recently graduated Hack Reactor and ask these questions - they are great questions btw. This sub reddit has a lot of Codesmith people in it and leans that way so it's great to get those answers for Codesmith.
I agree with the other comment here that Codesmith is super intense (9am-8pm M-F/9am-3pm S) and has great outcomes and if you are super ambitious, hard working, and ready to hustle, it should be a top contender.
RE: outcomes. So with hiring freezes and the direction of the economy, I wouldn't hold any past outcomes going forward and would choose based on the answers you get to the questions above and as the other commenter stated, go in with reasonable expectations.
(I can talk more about the hiring market based on my observations and experience, but I don't want to derail the thread)
