Pros

You will have to dedicate yourself to learning the material, the schedule is demanding but not many other places that will pay you to train you and also provide a foot in the door in the industry. My major in college was not super related to the field, but now that I have completed training I feel much more qualified and confident in my abilities as a programmer, and have interviews with major companies that probably would have thrown my resume in the trash before Revature.

Cons

Strict learning curve. If you aren't fully invested you probably won't be able to keep up. A lot of people don't make it through training, my training group had 13 people who didn't make it through training pay isn't great, but better than paying to be trained

Revature Honest Review

Pros

-The trainer was incredible, went above and beyond to help us learn, understand and study for regular testing. -Other associates were nice, helpful and everyone has your back. In my batch, everyone helped each other on whatever problems occurred. -This only really applies to my batch since it was during covid, but we didn't have to move to a whole new location which was a huge plus. We got to just work from home. -Common misconception is that Revature is a scam, but they state everything that will happen during your time at Revature in the contract and it is mentioned to you multiple times throughout training.

Cons

-Communication with the panel team was horrendous. -The work load is a lot. If you aren't able to handle a lot of work at one time, then this place is not for you.

Pros

Great Training for in-demand markets with a lot of opportunities opened up at the end of training. Our batch was "Java with Automation" so we were trained in full stack web development with a high amount of emphasis on automated testing and test driven development. Everyone in the group gained invaluable skills over the course of the program and a lot of us were hired before our training technically ended. It provides a HUGE amount of help for people looking to get into the industry.

Cons

Training is brutally difficult, however it is possible if you are willing to put in the work. During my training batch, a few people were unfortunately not able to make it and got dropped, but the ones that put their nose to the grindstone all are exceptional programmers now. You don't have much of a work life balance, it is going to be 60-80 hours a week for 40 hours a week of minimum wage pay, which is harsh, but the experience is worth it. There is also a 2 year contract that starts when you are hired by a Revature partner where the pay is less than what you would typically make for the job, but there's a high chance you will be bought out of your contract and make the full amount for the job. The way I described it to myself to help is: 10 weeks of hell 2 years of diet hell and a REALLY nice light at the end of the tunnel I would recommend Revature if you've been out of college for about a year with no ability to get a job, if you're fresh out of college, try to get a job elsewhere, but if no place is hiring you, Revature is a great opportunity.
