      avoid at all costs

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      nothing absolutely nothing, do not work here.

      Cons

      I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Shady business practices, no real understanding of how to run a company or manage employees, they micromanage people, the number of vacation days provided is a joke, lots of turnover at the senior management level which should tell you something, no business strategy, I could go on and on.

      Great Mission & Opportunity

      Vice president, marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The mission of helping unemployed or underemployed find high paying technology jobs - Great working environment in terms of people I work with from top to bottom both in and outside of my department - Open to trying new things and hearing new ideas - Ability to make decisions quickly and move fast to take advantage of opportunities

      Cons

      - Cost of medical insurance seems to be rising, but I think that is going to be happening at just about every company.

      Great training / Terrible Client opportunities

      Devops associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Got paid to get trained in-demand DevOps skills like AWS, K8s, and Terraform - Opportunities to work with several AWS services on the company's dime. - Group projects were fun, great to add to a GitHub/resume, and really helped our cohort bond. - 6 month intensive training - If you live in a state with a higher minimum wage, it's livable.

      Cons

      - No Client opportunities. Our entire 25-person cohort got laid off after successfully completing the training due to a lack of client demand. - Poor communication regarding the above. Management told us all that interviews with that SPECIFIC client were no more than 1-2 weeks out and this repeated for several months, until finally we all got let go same day without any warning (Even our instructor didn't know it was happening until it did)
