BloomTech has undergone some serious changes in the past year or so. It's largely self paced now. You work through curriculum on your own, ask for help when you need it, attend classes when you want - as fast or slow paced as you want. I'm not sure how they handle accountability, but presumably someone is nudging you along. But it might not be ideal if you don't like "learning at your own pace". I'm sure some people on here will say BloomTech is Lambda School, look at the lawsuits, etc... etc... but they have undergone some major changes and I think their past problems have been the result of their CEO being a natural growth-hacker who grew things way too fast and has since rebuilt a lot of things. That said, they still don't have great outcomes yet. EDIT: Making it clear, I am not endorsing BloomTech but saying that you should re-evaluate from scratch and not make conclusions based on Lambda School. That analysis could show things are even worse now! but I'm arguing to do the analysis in the first place instead of relying on older analysis.

I read they laid off a ton of staff and have 150 students with 1 teacher in a class. Growth hacker is an interesting term for poor management.

Agreed, I don't recommend BloomTech at all, I'll edit this to be clearer. My point though is to basically re-examine their recent program instead of judging from their past. The conclusion might be that it's even WORSE lol 🤷‍♂️
