When I went through it over a year ago, it wasn't great. Some of it was fine. Was it better than the great free content you can already find on YouTube? No. A decent amount of time I stopped following along with CT video and found an equivalent series on YouTube I feel bad sayi

They now show a "86% Graduation rate" but don't show a placement rate anymore. In the past, this was the number one way bootcamps were misleading - by only showing one or the other. Programs touted a very high "graduation rate" and salaries, but didn't disclose that placement rates were very poor OR they touted extremely high placement rates because they made it so hard to graduation, only a small number of high performers did and they all got jobs.
BloomTech for example has a "90% placement" rate, but about a 50% graduation rate, but guess which one at the top of off their website :D
My hunch is Coding Temple used to show a 97% placement rate because they made it hard to "officially" graduate and in the current market, even that dropped quite low so they switched to now showing the graduation rate and salaries of people placed. I would ask them what the placement rate is!
If the graduation rate is 86% and the placement rate is 97% then that means that of 100 people starting, 83 people get jobs and 17 drop out or don't get jobs.
