Do yourself a favor and learn on your own and pay for your own certification. Unless you work 2nd or 3rd shift, you will not be able to work and pay your mortgage/rent while completing this program. Cybersecurity has a 2% job placement rate and the instruction you will receive comes from COMP TIA, Per Scholas could care less after they receive grant money from the government - whether you learn or find a job.
Pros
OK Benefits, great coworkers
Cons
Managing Director role has been filled by all white supremacists

you get what you pay for and this bootcamp is free.

I am in week 7 of the Software Engineering course. To summarize, you get what you pay for and this bootcamp is free. It is poorly organized. They switched our instructor about 2 weeks into the program and our teacher's aide is no longer present. Large portions of time are spent on assignments where no one knows what their doing. Our cohort went from 25 people to 15 and I don't blame them for leaving. The instructor spends majority of the time reading from the slides and/or consoling students...
Pros
None. Poorly Organized. The employment prospects after the program were so bad that they are cancelling the Software Engineering offering.
Cons
In addition to the above, they become very defensive when trying to provide feedback. I have heard them say to learners that they "aren't transparent" but make no efforts to provide psychological safety to share feedback or collect it...

Caution!!! They not give you any valued education. Instructors mostly former students without TECh background. It took ~3 weeks for them to re-instal Windows on the personal computer. Emlloyee interfere into your private life and at Perscholas locations Human Rights, Criminal law and Constitutional law violated.
Pros
Free coffee and tea.
Cons
Programm, stuff, equipment, unprofessional behavior. They lie and yelling to the clients.
