Overall, my experience with DevMountain was great. I miss being as immersed and loaded with new knowledge every day. The curriculum is packed with quality content. Only a couple of days did I feel like what I was learning wouldn't be useful. Breakfast on Fridays, game nights and the campus itself was great to have. I don't know what other boot camps are like, but I'm happy with what I paid for at DevMountain.

Pros

- The instructors and mentors I had were amazing (Matias, Andrew, Cole, and Scott). They were very knowledgeable, available, and helpful. - Cohort wasn't so large you couldn't get help quickly.

Cons

- Information from on-site recruiters was just ok. It could have been due to COVID-19, but I didn't feel like there was enough in terms of job prep or support.

Flatiron - Immersive DS Program

Created 8 hours ago

I attended the DC campus' Fellowship (fully paid for) Immersive DS Program - the curriculum was great with very knowledgeable Instructors and Coaches who are extremely approachable, friendly and helpful. They are there for you every step of the way, and my cohort was small with only 8 people in the end, but we all got along amazingly. Brilliant and fun people all around. The facility at the WeWork was clean and a great environment to get work done - both independently and collaboratively -...See more

Pros

Awesome people who are incredibly smart and fun.

Cons

It is an intensive program where a lot of information is crammed into 4 months, and you get to only barely scratch the surface on some topics - but again, that's unavoidable.
