Can you elaborate more about the job placements? Anyone can learn fullstack or python online but it is hard to get an actual job without prior experience. Are they better networked with employers and are able To place the 90% candidates at desirable jobs?

So they are taking the Springboard and TripleTen route in highlighting that number. That's the percentage of people who graduate who get a job.
If you make it very very hard to graduate successfully then you can make it really likely you'll get a job if you graduate.
So you always have to multiply the graduation rate by the placement rate to see how many people are actually placed who start.
The challenge with all three of these is that they are self paced. So there isn't a fair graduation rate because people can be active for YEARS before graduating or dropping out.
I don't have a good way to analyze this which is why I advocate for just understanding how everything works in detail rather than rely on a single number to make a decision.
