Hello all, I wanted to share my experience on the Springboard bootcamp for web development. First of all, I do want to say that I didn't do as much research as I should have (stupid, yes, I know). I did a little here and there, and I did only see some positives, so I signed up.

There have been numerous documented cases at a range of bootcamps (not Springboard specific) of bootcamps asking people to write reviews and share their experience, or giving them gift cards and stuff. Springboard also pays Course Report for referrals and Course Report often has a banner on their site promoting Springboard with a $2000 discount.
I have participated here for years trying to bring fair and level headed look at bootcamps, but that also upsets the bootcamps when they are also struggling to survive right now and I don't really want to do that anymore.
But it really is hard to navigate the space and I'm sorry to hear that was a challenge for you.
