      The Pinnacle of Pragmatism

      Pros

      You'll learn more in 10 weeks than you did in 4 years of college. They'll teach you how to use a specific set of software tools and libraries to solve specific problems and perform certain tasks which the industry is in desperate desire for. They pay you during the training. They pay for your housing during the training. They have recruiters working around the clock to land you a position once you complete the training. Respectable starting salary and good benefits.

      Cons

      You need a Bachelors (or take part in their college program) to participate in the boot camp. You don't get much choice as to where you are placed after the boot camp, and you may have to travel very far very quickly to start a job on Monday. You have to sign a 2 year contract, from your first position after boot camp.

      Amazing boot-camp All right business

      Pros

      The training you get at Revature is excellent. All of the technologies are relevant in today's job market. They help new developers find the 2 year experience most companies are looking for. The trainers are very helpful and the network you gain can be invaluable. They have you working on industry level projects that provide you with something unique, soft skills. Something that differs here from other online camps I've attended is the amount of communication and team-work. Once on client side the trainers are still open to questions and the management will help you will any other issues. The allowance you get was sufficient and was never an issue. They cover all of the training costs and provide housing. I like that they are reaching out to college campuses. Their business works very well for current and post college students. Work/Life balance, not sure where to put this, is not exactly a 'pro' but if you aren't from the area it's great. You get back as much as you put into a boot-camp like this. A lot of the time working after hours is suggested but not mandatory other than meeting deadlines on projects. I feel that this is standard for a boot-camp but may not work for everyone, for example, married couples with children. Revature does provide enough accommodations so that you have the time needed to put in the extra hours.

      Cons

      Each trainer has their own strengths and weaknesses which is fine. However two trainers I worked with seemed incompetent in a core technology vital to our success. This lead to a halt in the overall amazing flow of the boot-camp. After the training is over is where Revature is at it's weakest. It seems that because they are working to grow, the time to get you on a project can take longer than necessary. Currently they seem more interested in partnerships, which is understandable as they are a relatively smaller company. However as a current employee this can become frustrating if you are placed with a new partner rather than one already established. They also seem to cater to clients needs over their own employees. This is something that will hopefully improve over time as they establish themselves. Lack of communication could be an issue at times. Management would be unaware of certain situations until they escalated and vice versa where we wouldn't be informed of certain projects until last minute. Trainers would be our main point of contact but I feel lack of authority and key information lead to the escalation of information gathering. Minor Issues: I was asked to transport other employees in my personal vehicle, many come down without transportation. This was uncompensated by Revature and unless you can set up an arrangement your allowance is stretched out even further. However I hear they are working on this issue.

      Overall, great experience.

      Pros

      I was hired with Revature early 2012 (prior to changing their name to Revature). The training was great, they found me on a job board (I believe it was Monster.com) when I was having a tough time trying to find a job myself. One thing that helped me the most was not the technical training, but the soft skills training. They help you with resume building and interview preparation. I know many people talk about the marketing process however I can't say for myself that I had a bad experience. I got placed on a project within a week in Columbia, SC with the Department of Education. It was a great learning experience as my first job. I moved up pretty quickly within the development team and started code sharing ideas and presentations throughout the CIO department of DOE. The training definitely helped with my success in Columbia. I now work internally with Revature on the content platform team. I work on the training content for our online training platform (www.revature.com). Another big pro with Revature is the fact that we hire internally. Most of the trainers/content team (if not all) are former Revature graduates that went through the program.

      Cons

      The pay is not so great when you start out, however I do understand since I received free training. The benefits are okay, I wish I had more paid vacation days & also matching with 401(k). I only had 3 days to move all of my stuff to Columbia but luckily I didn't have any furniture or anything to move down, had to sleep on the ground for the first week before I had the opportunity to buy furniture. After the first couple of weeks of training I wish the pace stayed the same. I really wanted to learn as much as possible throughout the training but the last couple of weeks of training were a lot less rigorous.
