Pros

Perfect way to build a solid foundation of experience as a developer. The team is easy to get along with and always available to provide support. Opens you up to a network of likeminded individuals, some of whom will undoubtedly become your close friends and helpful resources at some point in your software career trajectory.

Cons

The Coronavirus has forced Smoothstack to go remote for the time being.

Pros

I found Smoothstack when all doors were closed to me. I had graduated with a CS degree and couldn't find a job for about a year and a half after graduation and was driving a Uber to make ends meet. I had almost given up on a career in IT when I heard about this program. Initially, I did not apply as I thought it was a Bootcamp and I would have to pay to participate. It was only later when I researched more that I found that it was merit-based. You get paid to learn and this leads to a full-time job in 3 months. I was in the Java Dev Ops program and the training was intense as they simulated an agile environment where I was able to pick up coding skills while being exposed to a real-time project. It's a very collaborative environment but to excel you also need to be driven and willing to put int the hard work. I would strongly recommend both the program and the organization! It's a great place to learn and build your career!

Cons

None to highlight as of today
