Revature Junior Java Developer reviews

Minimum wage during training. The money is in the career you'll begin after. At the end of the day it's a coding boot camp. That means you're going to work from 9 to 5 then need to study for a couple hours every night. It can be a rough few months depending on how you can manage your time. Major caveat is you'll sign a contract that will bind you to one of their clients for 2 years *after* you're hired. It's a ~27 month commitment, and you'll be required to move (often times across country, and sometimes more than once) for job sites. Biggest caveat: If you breach contract, you'll owe them the cost of training: ~$20k. That doesn't mean if you don't absorb material you're going to wind up 20 grand in the hole. That means if you don't show up, refuse / cheat on assignments, purposely bomb client interviews, etc... you're going to get fired. If you're putting forth your best effort and aren't understanding the material then you'll simply be let go without having to shell out the cost of training.

Tricky contracts that prey on people who have few options. Revature drafts a contract that gives you the assumption that you would be making 80k a year but then you are making drastically less. After they cut a portion of your income for their "housing expenses", you are making less than minimum wage overall. Their training is also severely under the value of $20k (the penalty fee for quitting).
