Pros

I was referred by a friend who successfully got trained and working with Revature. I have attended Java training got placed with a project. I am also getting continuous technical support from my trainer. Excellent team they have who are supportive in all the ways. Work culture and environment is good.

Cons

Training is pretty extensive but it’s an asset for an employee.

Pros

- You will probably get a job paying $50-57 K - You can get in as long as you have any bachelor's degree and a pulse (Actually a con if you are already a good software developer. You will deal with many unknowledgeable peers and trainers).

Cons

- They will place you in any position regardless of your skill or performance in the program. The most knowledgeable developers in our batch filled help desk and business analysis roles. Some of the lowest performers ended up as developers. Do not think that performing well will get you the developer job. It doesn't matter here. - The training is very bad. Trainers are recruited right out of college so they can pay them less. They do not have industry experience. You can get much better training from Pluralsight or Udemy. - Don't listen to their promise that you will be a developer. It's a dice roll.

Pros

Worth it. Honestly, I owe it to Revature for getting my foot in the door in this field. They have big clients, great exposure, and amazing training and staff. Granted the pay is no where near the national average but that’s something you have to make peace with before signing the contract. They tell you what your pay will be, and once you’re on a project you will be working with people (non-revature) who do the same thing as you, and get paid way more but that’s part of the deal. Another thing you need to make peace with is that they can send you literally anywhere within the US so if you’re stuck in a state you don’t like, oh well. But remember why you did this, to build your career and get your foot in the door so if you keep that in mind, it won’t feel as terrible. If you can afford to invest 2 years of your time (possibly less, depending on if client buys you out or not) then it will be so so worth it.

Cons

I would say the unknowns (who’s the client, when’s my start date, where’s the location) but there’s nothing revature can really do about that because most of the time you’ll be working for the clients client so it’s up to them to decide where your project will be.
