Frequent lies during recruitment process: most notably, you WILL NOT receive more than minimum wage until not only training completes, but you begin work with a client. The client-selection process is painfully slow, and during my time there nearly everyone selected waited between one and two months to begin work and get a raise past minimum.
Closely related, awful pay.
+2-year contract. Note that plus; recruiters will act like placement will happen almost immediately after training, and it won't. That two years only ticks down while you're working with a client, so expect the actual commitment to be at minimum 2 years and 3 months, up to far longer if your client project ends or you're otherwise benched.
Revature can and will sell your contract. They will tell you you're forced to agree (legally, you're not) or you'll be charged an extremely large fine. Your two years will begin going down once your contract is sold.
Repeated empty threats of release, and an unenforceable contract that values Revature training at nearly the cost of a Bachelor's degree. The fact that a 30k fine is used as a motivation tool is actually disgusting.
Extremely poor and unprofessional team for finding clients after training. Reasonable questions, such as "Where am I moving?" or "When should I expect to be placed with a client?" were entirely ignored.
Poorly adapted to remote work; training quality suffered and the management structure was ineffective. I was frequently given conflicting instructions from different members of management, and HR would say entirely different things ("You won't be expected to work more than 8 hours a day," lol) to cover the company legally.
The company lies about associate experience, and we were encouraged to add several months to years of experience with technologies we were trained on for single days to our portfolios.
