iirc I thought they do teach you code for 3 months?

They aren't officially a bootcamp but are kind of a bootcamp in disguise. They take almost anyone and they put you through a bootcamp-like training that is aimed at getting you ready for specific clients they have projects for.
If you pass some tests and possibly an interview, you get assigned to a company and get paid around $40 to $50K a year which goes up in the second year to something like $60K (these are estimates/examples based on people I know, not the current numbers!) but you are doing like 80K+ level of work.
You never pay Revature directly, but you pay by being underpaid for two years after placement. And if you leave your contract without being bought out, you owe penalties fees of somewhere around $20K (which is the cost of a bootcamp...)
