Pros

Gets you past the catch 22 of needing an entry level position, but not having the experience to land the entry level position. There are batches ranging from 10-12 weeks, where you will gain great experience learning a full tech stack and build projects with a large team.

Cons

Relocation can be difficult. It is a LOT of material to learn in the time given, and you will spend a lot of time outside of the 8hr class time each day self-studying. The contract can make you apprehensive to join, but they will not enforce it (mutual release) if they do not think you can handle it. Starting pay ranges from 45-55k once out of training, which is lower than industry average... but you are gaining valuable experience and practically guaranteed a job if you make it through. In my opinion, totally worth it!

Pros

As a software engineer you are getting a foot in the door of an industry that is notoriously difficult to get into. They don't sugar coat it. You are the product. Overall, if you make it through the training your outlook is good. Most people who can hack the training get placed with a client, and many associates will have their contracts bought out within 1-2 years.

Cons

The pay on client projects is not great. That's all there is to it. You are on a two year contract, you are the product Revature is selling to companies. The training is fairly grueling but only lasts 10-12 weeks. Training/staging pay very little. Once you land with a client and your two-year commitment begins your pay is lackluster year 1 and not awesome year 2.
