RE: "mixed reviews". If you are seeing like POLARIZED REVIEWS, like every review is either really good or really bad, that's a major red flag. If you see a lot of reviews that are detailed and realistic pros and cons, that's a better sign that it's legit, even if the overall seems mixed or just 'good'. Why? because bootcamps push for reviews and they game the system to bias reviews you read to more likely be super positive ones, and then the 1 star ones are disgruntled people. So if you see a 50/50 mix of both you are seeing a mix of too many disgruntled people and the 'happy' people are like planted there in a sense. If you see all the reviews being like 'it was okay, decent' and details for why, that's actually a GOOD sign haha.
