Revature reviews

Instructors' quality seems to be hit-or-miss: I had 1 excellent instructor, for Java; my Angular web development instructor was OK; the final instructor (for all/overarching) was *horrible.* Revature's administrative infrastructure is terrible - very disorganized, ad hoc, tremendous lack of communication. Revature *seemingly* tries to support its trainees, but merely goes through the motions rather than providing *true* support. (Looks good - no substance.) Trainees are treated poorly - a lot of high-schoolish rules, poor pay, vacation is not paid upon termination. (To be fair, some of the younger trainees *behave* as if they're still in high school.)

The communication between staff is terrible (non-existent). The training is said to run from 10am-6pm EST the trainers always seem like they're in a rush to leave or get rid of you. They will dismiss you like at 3pm EST or earlier. Don't really teach you programming at all. They have weekly assessments, verbal quizzes with the trainer and QC which is like a technical interview style panel of people asking you questions of information they didn't even cover. The pay is minimum wage of whatever state you are working in. The projects are given to you in a short time span and they expect you to do everything they asked for and more of the bonuses. They really just expect you to know everything already and not ask questions they can't answer. QC team makes everything more uncomfortable. Benefits only kick in after the training period (10-12 weeks). Texas you get paid $8/hr. You will spend most of your time teaching yourself, working on projects or activities outside of class. And no you don't get paid overtime for working outside of the training.
