Pros

You'll learn how to be a full-stack developer in ~3 months, how to behave in a professional environment (you'd be surprised how crucial this is), and how to learn new technologies. After training you'll interview with clients across America. There's a 95% chance you'll be hired by one for >=$45k per year. If you're fresh out of college, this is a great way to snag that job and gain those 2 years of experience that companies seem to demand for entry level positions. Surprisingly amazing benefits (Health, Dental, Life).

Cons

Minimum wage during training. The money is in the career you'll begin after. At the end of the day it's a coding boot camp. That means you're going to work from 9 to 5 then need to study for a couple hours every night. It can be a rough few months depending on how you can manage your time. Major caveat is you'll sign a contract that will bind you to one of their clients for 2 years *after* you're hired. It's a ~27 month commitment, and you'll be required to move (often times across country, and sometimes more than once) for job sites. Biggest caveat: If you breach contract, you'll owe them the cost of training: ~$20k. That doesn't mean if you don't absorb material you're going to wind up 20 grand in the hole. That means if you don't show up, refuse / cheat on assignments, purposely bomb client interviews, etc... you're going to get fired. If you're putting forth your best effort and aren't understanding the material then you'll simply be let go without having to shell out the cost of training.

Pros

Energetic, Helpful, Performance Oriented, Friendly, Ambitious. Trainers are more than happy to help, and Human resources is extremely friendly which is nice to see. The executives here at hq do roam around every now and again and introduce themselves and establish some rapport with us even though we're likely not going to have much dealing with them. Revature for the most part makes sure we're all happy here.

Cons

Training is a little rushed IMO, might just be the program I'm in. The folks in charge of retention aren't the most helpful, but otherwise everyone else is very friendly and helpful. The training housing is very cramped. The apartment I'm assigned to is a townhouse and is one of the more spacious ones and we still barely have room for the 5 of us, but still livable if you're on the same page with your roomates.
