Yours is the real measured take here. IMO OP earns the downvote just for the disparity between the headline and the content of the post. These are pretty much all criticisms of the nature of boot camps. It might as well be: Do not order Domino’s. They show you pepperoni in the c

Yeah good point, the angle I'm coming from is about people just understanding where they are at and not being misled into believing something that's not right.
I do have two personal opinions about Codesmith that are my opinions (and while backed by others I do personally state):
1. The majority of grads lie on their resumes about their OSP projects and Codesmith's sister non profit signs letters of reference to back that up. I think that harms people who don't lie.
2. They make people believe they are mid level and senior engineers by the end of Codesmith and I don't believe this is accurate at the top tier company bar. I don't deny people get 2nd level engineering roles and good salaries, but I think the portrayal as "mid level and senior" is the wrong narrative, and that people should be getting appropriate junior roles AT TOP COMPANIES with the right setup, support and structure to succeed, rather than push people to squeeze into roles that aren't aligned properly.
