      Come for the placement, not the training

      Pros

      -Almost guaranteed contract-to-hire role at a fortune 500 company (90% of employees end up converting to full time at a big name company) -Train in currently used software with curriculum designed around current hiring needs(we learned Java, Spring boot, Node.js, Azure services, & React) -Paid training & up to $1000 for relocation -Your training batch is a good place to start networking for the future -They are aggressive with placement, since Revature only makes money once you are placed on a client project. They will give you tons of real interview opportunities as soon as you are done with training

      Cons

      -Low paid. You get barely more than your state's minimum wage($8/hr in GA) during training, and only 45k(55k in high CoL areas) after that. Good pay is basically only after you convert to full time at your contract site. -Training efficacy is highly dependent on which trainer you get, and if they click with you -20k clawback if you leave early

      Great place to work for when you're out of options.

      Pros

      It's essentially a 10-12 week bootcamp that prepares you for a specific client, so if you need a job and willing to put in 10-12 weeks of hard work and don't care about relocation then Revature is for you. If you came from Reddit and think this place is sketchy as heck... that's what I thought man but I YOLO'd. and you know, it's really not that bad lol especially when you are a person who is out of options (i.e., you can't get your first tech job), either continue to sit around for many more months or join and start working.

      Cons

      Not able to choose the technology you are interested. Not able to choose which company you are selected for interviews. Have to relocate. Trainers can be a hit or miss, so pray before you sign up.

      Great Training, Staging is a Mess

      Pros

      The training Revature provides is excellent. I went in with a small amount of coding knowledge, and am now able to fully develop websites and mobile applications from scratch. The courses are no joke, they're HARD and will take a lot of your time. Much of that time includes studying outside of work hours, and unfortunately that studying is not paid. The trainers and those running the Quality Control quizzes are incredibly helpful (Adam Ranieri was an amazing trainer). The trainers are, no joke, better than most of my college professors. As soon as I finished my course, I had a job lined up with a Fortune 500 company. A major plus is that you WILL get a tech job, Revature doesn't make any money if the associates they hire don't get hired onto a project. This is a PAID training, and while the pay is low (see cons), you would be paying thousands for this level of a training elsewhere.

      Cons

      Well Below industry pay!! Associates make minimum wage in the state they reside for training, then once onboarded you will only make 45k/year. This does come with a raise in year 2. There's also a cost of living raise (option to make up to 55k/yr), but that only applies if a) you're required to relocate and b)if you work in-person. This program is marketed for beginners, but that is absolutely not the case. You do need at least a baseline knowledge of how programming works, otherwise you will struggle. You also need to think of it more as a college course you're getting paid to take or you will not be successful. Putting in work and studying is KEY. Staging and onboarding have no structure at all whatsoever. You go through your training then move into "staging" which is where you interview for projects. There is a light schedule of what's expected, but communication is scarce and infrequent, nor do they tell you what meetings you're expected to be in. There are required "professional development" seminars that do not have any valuable information. Onboarding is even worse.
