They have changed things drastically. They also laid off half the company a few weeks ago.
You can try out the free trial without making any kind of commitment and I would recommend doing that.
They have transitioned to a fairly self-paced program, where you choose what you want to do when, and there isn't as much accountability as there used to be.
The result is that if you make it to graduation, you have a higher chance of placement, but the majority of people don't graduate anymore because of these changes.
I've worked with a number of BloomTech grads and helped them get jobs post BloomTech and I've seen their CEO post these "another person from cohort X was hired".... where those people are people we helped place because they struggled to get a job post-BloomTech and those people sadly have a lot of money to pay now. On the bright side, they are on their dream paths now, just a little more expensive than expected.
Their CEO has been touting the success of their 9 month backend program where all job seeking graduates got jobs. I heard from two people that all the placements were at Amazon across apprenticeships, SDE I and SDE II, and I doubt those will continue with the current climate.
So TLDR: it has changed a lot and try the free trial to see if it's a good fit for what you're looking for, that's the best thing you can do!
