I think one major con as you said in another post, that almost all instructors and TAs of are in India, about half of the cohort mates are in India, all the current job partnerships are in India, and every placement listed on their website testimonial was in India. The company itself is also based in India.This is not clear from their marketing and is fantastic if you are located in India but not as good of you are located elsewhere.
Comment from OP:
"Yes they are available in the US now(launched 7-8 months back iirc). Instructors are based in India. Some are American. Teaching assistants are all based in India. Hiring partnerships are mostly with Indian cos. Not sure about outside India. I am still in month 2 , so job portal is not yet open for me. It's a mix of American and Indian learners. Probably 60-40. My mentor is based out of India. He is an SDE2 at Adobe. Not sure if there are any that are based out of the US."
They are making a large push into the global market, but currently this is something to be aware of that you didn't mention at all in your post that I think a lot of people should be aware of if they are not located in India so they can ask questions and make sure they are on the same page before joining.
