People are going to make new accounts to stay anonymous. Your logic doesn't make sense, so don't try to discredit them. There are many of us in Formation that are dissatisfied, but obviously it's not worth the energy for all of them to complain about it on a place like Reddit. So

That session sounds unacceptable and I believe that surfaced in feedback and was addressed and is being monitored if it's what I'm thinking of regarding mic-off. Have you been reporting this internally on the session feedback forms, your weekly feedback forms, your daily standups, FM check-ins, your private channel, or with the anonymous feedback flow? We constantly ask for feedback and love it so please send more feedback our way so If you have more suggestions on how to contribute feedback itself, let me know as well, please! We want nothing more than every session to be perfect for every person. But things happen, for example a session this week had very good, thorough feedback from all the Fellows but one, one have very clear feedback about why they didn't like the session. If that person comes and complains that their sessions are terrible and the mentor was terrible, that's true for that person. We do a investigation into what happened and why, and we might block the mentor from working with that Fellow, we might discover that the person felt talked over or not acknowledged, but others didn't feel this way, etc... It gets complicated fast, but I stand by that the majority of sessions for the majority of people are valuable. If you are finding that, for you, all your sessions are terrible and useless, and we don't know about, then that's devastating. I assure you this post really saddened several people on the team who desperately want to talk to the OP to figure out why this level of feedback was not surfaced or handled, and the OP is non responsive. RE: partnerships, your argument saddens me. The job market is very tough right now and we are fighting to get you all jobs. The Netflix partnership might not be for current Fellows, but we are fighting to get ins and that unique partnership is a step in the right direction. I'm sorry it doesn't help current Fellows with the current job market, but we're hoping it will unlock possibilities in the future.
