Can you DM me any more details? I have been looking into their program lately and it seems like a ghost town with most sessions with 0 people attending and some with a handful.
But their CEO has been touting the success of their backend program, where the first cohort had all 22 people place at Amazon (The CEO says all 22 placed, insiders told me all at Amazon via special apprenticeship pipelines, and normal SWEI/SWEII interviews). But I guess if that's the size of the cohort you don't need 100+ staff :(

Don't do bloomtech. I did the free trial, then read the fine print. Their job guarantee is basically B.S. Not worth the price. The bootcamp I chose is through Caltech and half the price.

Yeah I should clarify that I’m the co-founder of a program for experienced engineers called Formation and not looking to attend a bootcamp. I worked at Facebook for 8 years as an E7 engineer and have interviewed hundreds of people and trained interviewers as well. I just keep a very close eye on many bootcamps because I work with a lot of people who did them in the past. I hang around here to try to give perspective when I can as most people
here have no industry experience.
