Pros

The free training program is the main bonus for this company along with job placement afterwards

Cons

Longevity with this company is rare. For those whom it works for it eventually works great, but be prepared in exchange for the free training to be underpaid compared to your software peers for the first year or two. Its still worth it.

Pros

The Java Spring part of the training was good but minimal. We only learned RESTful APIs with Spring Boot.

Cons

The Angular part of the course was outdated. We started with 8 students in the cohort, 1 dropped out and 7 graduated. None of the 7 were able to be placed. I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI. We only learned how to build CRUD applications.
