Pros

The training I received at revature was great. The first few weeks helped to solidify the concepts I learned in college, while the rest taught me new technologies that are in high demand in the field. They give you the experience needed to get your foot in the door. There is housing provided if you need it and the wages during training is easy enough to live off of.

Cons

Some of the apartments provided are to small to house the six people living in them. The training is hard and there is homework occasionally. The work can sometimes cut into your weekend. If you're not prepared to work hard then this may not be a good fit for you.

Pros

There are a great number of software technologies to learn in a short time. I majored in Computer Science (Software Engineer in other place) in college and it was assumed students did not have any prior programming experience. My college CS program started from the very bottom and laid down the fundamentals of programming that are applicable to almost any programming language. With these as the foundation learning new technologies that Revature taught was not difficult. Lots of resources are provided for advancing ones learning. Interview and resume preparation was a big help. The training itself is a hands-on/ try-it-out type. You listen to some theory, shown an example but most of the time it's trying things out for oneself. This learning style works for me. Overall it was a great experience.

Cons

There are a great number of software technologies to learn in a short time. At times it can feel overwhelming, especially for people that have other responsibilities outside of work. The training is fast paced and should be taken seriously. If you are someone looking to slack off and think it will be walk in the park, don't bother coming to Revature (granted for SOME this will be an easy training). (Lack of reclining chairs in the office is a disappointment)

Thanks for providing your review of Revature. These reviews are very helpful to improve our overall employee experience. We agree that our program is very demanding and teaches you the latest technologies. As you said, our program is not for everyone, only those that are willing to work hard and apply themselves will become a Revature software engineer. Also, we will forward your comment about reclining chairs to our facilities team so they can be aware of it as we order new furniture.
