Pros

Decent pay for corproate employees

Cons

Was suddenly let go without warning, swindles college grads into working for them when they have no idea where they'll land up and what they'll train on, etc.

Intense Training?

Full stack java developer

Business Outlook

Pros

I am near the end of my training for the full stack java development program. The training is very intense. Be prepared to spend almost every waking moment studying, completing projects or at least thinking about your projects. The QC (quality control) team, who will ask you questions weekly, are rough. They don't take prisoners. Don't guess at the answer or they'll keep asking you questions, allowing you to dig your own grave. Saying you don't know isn't great either, so knowing the material is very important to staying in the program. However, you learn a ton in the 12 weeks and they really do make you a great developer, if you put in the work.

Cons

Long hours, minimum wage pay for the three months of training, and little-to-no control on placement. I was beyond scared when it came to signing the contract, but after going through the program, the education is worth the uncertainty. Of course, I haven't actually been placed with a company yet, so there is still time to get screwed. Fingers crossed I don't end up in Maine. Would recommend the program if: You're serious about getting a career quickly and are willing to put in the work You don't have an immediate need for money. Paying a mortgage on minimum wage is tough (I know from experience). You are willing to move anywhere for a couple years. Most placements are east coast but that is changing.
