From the ones I've worked with it's pretty good for a bootcamp, and pretty good overall, just not consistently at the FAANG bar. Like maybe 5% chance of passing FAANG onsite by getting all the stars aligning and the right recruiter, right questions, right hiring manager. Which is pretty good. To consistently prepare for FAANG you need a long period of dedicated learning and practice of fundamentals and no 12, 16, 19 weeks bootcamps just are built around a super compressed curriculum in fixed time and does not work at all for properly mastering any topic.
