Revature Jr. Software Developer reviews

They will fire you if you can not finish their projects.You will be underpaid for two years.

Each trainer has their own strengths and weaknesses which is fine. However two trainers I worked with seemed incompetent in a core technology vital to our success. This lead to a halt in the overall amazing flow of the boot-camp. After the training is over is where Revature is at it's weakest. It seems that because they are working to grow, the time to get you on a project can take longer than necessary. Currently they seem more interested in partnerships, which is understandable as they are a relatively smaller company. However as a current employee this can become frustrating if you are placed with a new partner rather than one already established. They also seem to cater to clients needs over their own employees. This is something that will hopefully improve over time as they establish themselves. Lack of communication could be an issue at times. Management would be unaware of certain situations until they escalated and vice versa where we wouldn't be informed of certain projects until last minute. Trainers would be our main point of contact but I feel lack of authority and key information lead to the escalation of information gathering. Minor Issues: I was asked to transport other employees in my personal vehicle, many come down without transportation. This was uncompensated by Revature and unless you can set up an arrangement your allowance is stretched out even further. However I hear they are working on this issue.
