Smoothstack reviews about "environment"

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!

- Experienced trainers who will guide your learning - Learn the latest technologies - Get agile experience - Interview preparation (very valuable) - Great working environment (I started pre-COVID) - Great clients

- 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
