      Hardest Most Fulfilling Training I've ever undertaken... Grateful beyond words

      Pros

      I will go ahead and call their training world class because it is. (1)Great 5-star accommodation in Tampa, FL (disclaimer: not always put in the same apartments, but the one I lived in was 5-star luxury). Amenities like salt-water pool, gymnasium, etc included. You pay $110 a week for your accommodation. (2) Intensive 10-week Java training course with extreme hands on involvement. Their technology is always cutting edged, based on market demand. There is no way you're coming out of this with nothing. (3)Paid a minimum wage stipend during training ... caution accommodation deducted from this (see#1 above)... pay after taxes and all else was about $345 biweekly. (4) Trainers are readily available to help, if you show that you want it and are able to keep up. Our particular trainer took time off on Saturdays to get us to understand the material more. (5) You get to work on real life projects and applications preparing you for the job market. After training you are PLACED with a reputable/ Fortune 500 firm... and Revature supports you through all this. (6) The friends you make here forge solid relationships that'd put a fraternity/ sorority to shame. At Revature, batch is truly family! (7) For lack of wanting to sound like a pro-Revature informercial, here below lie the cons ...

      Cons

      (1) Do not come here if you think it is an easy entryway into a job (2) There will be sleepless nights .... several of them and a horrendous amount of stress. Your hair, like mine did, will turn grey... no joke. (3) You must keep up with the fast-paced environment/ teaching. You will study and work every single moment of your time here. If you like those lazy weekends, forget about coming here. You will be fired if you attempt to cheat, claim work that is not your or just generally don't seem to catch up much. You will be expected to represent Revature in the most professional manner, including wearing strictly business professional every Monday, and business wear on Tues, Wed and Thurs...This is a con for me because I abhor anything formal. I dread Mondays... (4) If you are a family person, mother or dad, brace yourself: You will have to shut out your family for this 10-week period ... I kid you not. You will have no time for scraped knee, ear-infection or utility bill talk... nothing. You WILL have to shut your family out. Be prepared to miss birthdays and special occasions. Ensure there is a three month income stream and emergency fund for the family. Lots of people say if you are a family person, stay away. I say it can be done if you follow my advice...In the end it'll all be worthwhile...

      Good training system. It's really hard to finish the training program.

      The Best startup for developers with little/no experience.

      Pros

      Pass or Fail. If you make it even half way through the program the quality of the teaching is so good, if you really put in the time to understand it, you will get a job somewhere. Teaching has to go down twice as a pro. A lot of agencies are happy to take you on take 20k of your annual salary just to place you, and really don't invest in you the way Revature does. For a single developer straight out of college, pure gold. I can't speak for the other instructors, but if you train in Tampa and you're in Trevin's batch, you made out well. He's good and really cares about his students. The staff as a whole is a pro. Where I was trained they're all for the most part friendly, approachable, and professional. The business culture has an inspiring feel. The work they're doing to help developers land jobs

      Cons

      Great as the training is, it's not a 'perfect' model for everyone. The company seems aware of it though and trying to adapt. I would NOT recommend Revature under the following circumstances: (These aren't even Cons so much as a word of caution.) 1.) You can't give it 150% of yourself. The extra 50% accounts for sleepless nights. Unless your already a rock star programmer, you will have them. 2.) Don't still be taking classes anywhere else. (see above) This is what happened to me. I thought I could balance a Masters program along with this. Big mistake, I burnt out on week 10 or so. Don't make that mistake, the further you go and don't make it, the more you will miss it, and be in a weird place. 3) Ideally for singles. If you're married, it can be hard to plan even a few days let alone 12+ weeks away your spouse or children. It's not impossible but it will be harder. 4) If your married, be financially prepared. You'll be making minimum wage. If your married with children. Have a nest egg, if you must go to Revature to launch your career. If your barely scraping by, you'll be buying lots of Ramen noodle. 5) You have a serious gaming addiction. This is silly but I've seen people actually wash out over this. Be prepared to devote at least 4 hours after work to reinforce the days material.
