Yeah +1, I think this is a really great system that is really win-win for Codesmith. It's a structured employment relationship so that the fellows don't just leave the second they get a job, which is a problem with other bootcamps that employ graduates. It's perceived as a program for solid students (like the solid ones that don't get outside jobs right away out of Codesmith) and something aspirational to do to beef up your resume before job hunting.
The downsides are that it's paid very lowly, "around $52K a year" (was the last quote), and it extends your program by 3 months (like a 12 week bootcamp turns into a 7 month program).
