Honestly, one of the most intense experiences I've ever been through. I was worth it in the end as I learned how to build websites completely from scratch. A valuable skill to have.

This Coding Bootcamps insists, guarantees that they will not kick you out, drop you if you \struggle\. The truth you will know it when they tell you sorry you failed and you will have another only one chance. Yes they want as many as people to put their money in them, then They will kick you out. This place is not for beginners. Assignments are not for few hours and the instructions is just for chilling. They claim 30% fail this program. I guarantee you more than 50%. I was ripped off. They will drop you with frustration. Better do the free bootcamps.

Disclaimer: I am a bit biased towards Coding Dojo, because it worked out very well for me personally. I had a blast while attending, graduated in February 2019, and got a job in the field about a month after that. Pros: • Three full stacks are in fact valuable. A more diverse range of skills allows you to cast a wider net when looking for work, and once you picked up three languages, five frameworks, and two database technologies, learning more while in the field is far less daunting. • The tech the Dojo teaches is in demand and there is no shortage of job positions open right now looking for the skill set you can pick up here • The school culture is great. The Dojo encourages cooperation and group learning and contacts you make while in school will be very valuable after you leave. Cons: • While the local staff is pretty great, knowledgeable and helpful, the upper management seems quite detached from the school's day-to-day and while I was graduating has made bad decisions recently, with regards to several aspects of the program, especially the career services. They seem to be back on track now, but that was disconcerting. • Career services part of the program is lacking, although, as mentioned, they are trying to improve. You are given about a week worth of lectures on job hunting, interviewing, salary negotiations, etc, have a few role-play interviews, and then start getting an occasional e-mail about positions in the area. The Dojo is fairly upfront about this, but to reiterate: this school will not place you in a company. It will help you as you look for work, but you have to find and get the job yourself.

If you had a career before coding this is probably not the place for you. They actually interview you prior to making a decision on whether they will accept you to the program. I was interviewed by Ashley and the questions were geared toward junior level career applicants. Most of the questions were straight out of the 2004 interview curriculum when recruiters thought they could really get to know people with \tell me about a time when you had to overcome an obstacle.\ I asked the recruiter to clarify the job placement numbers and process and actually was told ot even Harvard has a 100% placement rate.\ Harvard? You mean like the Ivy League University with the 40 Billion Endowment? Ok then great comparison. If you are a self started and motivated by a coding career most of the coding camps will work.

I had an amazing experience at the Dojo! It was an extremely well-rounded program providing three full-stacks, daily algorithm practice, and collaborative projects with other students. The professors ranged from former students to veterans with decades of experience -- all of whom were very knowledgable and willing to help. They also stay very involved after the program, whether you are on the job hunt, or even if you have secured a programming job. I would definitely recommend this program to family or friends. Bonus: I also got really good at ping pong while giving my brain a break.
