Pros

The company formerly known as eIntern, formerly known as Multivision trains their "Candidates" well. Most of the slackers and pretenders are cut early on in the program. The clients usually end up hiring directly or providing the work experience needed to leave the company and go where some one cares.

Cons

Training period which ranges from 6-16 weeks at only $150 stipend a week to cover food and transportation in Northern VA. I hope you don't have any other bills due! There may not be a client after the training period at which point they will put you up to menial tasks w/o pay until they finally just tell you to go home. Relocation across any distance to any area gets you $500. This is supposed to cover lease breakage, moving truck, hotel, gas, deposit on new place, etc. The first relocation for instance, where you must move from training in Reston, Virginia, presumably get your personal belongings from home(furniture, personal items, clothing, spouse, dog, etc.) and relocate to any of the lower 48 on $500. Relocation with as low as a days notice, most frequently 1 weekends time. $24,000 breakage of contract fee they will hold over your head until a client purchases you or the full 2 years is up. Forged Glassdoor reviews to get a better rating. I was told to "check out our glassdoor" (eIntern) if I want to know how people feel about the company. Come to find out internal employees are being asked to review them to skew the numbers. Look closely you can tell which ones seem to minimize or ignore the glaring issues with this company.

Pros

Excellent training! The training is primarily technical, but also includes great mentoring on resume writing and interviewing. I was selected for a work assignment immediately after the training phase with no delay. My trainer showed genuine interest in our success and well being. The apartment was great and included all the basic furnishings. I feel infinitely better prepared to advance my career than I was before coming to Revature. I thoroughly enjoy my current work assignment. My training gave me hands on experience in the same tools I now use on the job.

Cons

The program is definitely geared towards single job seekers. if you have a significant other or dependents think hard about this before committing. There is no guarantee that you will be selected right away as I was. If you are looking to make lots of money right now this might not be for you. I view my time at Revature as an investment in my future as I gain valuable work experience.

Pros

The invaluable training that is conducted here CANNOT be compared to any other form of education I have received before. The professional assistance from Resume review to improving interviewing skills have been a great help in securing the right positions for furthering my career. The technical skills that are taught go above and beyond for what is expected to be known for an entry level programmer position, making the candidates extremely competitive and increasingly more valuable. If wanting to travel is your thing, the training location is located in Reston, VA, about a 30 minute drive from DC. One of the best decisions I made in my life!

Cons

If you are against traveling, this may not be for you. As stated before, the location for training is in Reston, VA. Once you have completed training, your contract can be located anywhere within the US. The program is very competitive, so you must come prepared for long nights and weekends of studying.
