Pluspunten

-"Free" training that's legitimately in-depth -Provided hardware/infrastructure (laptops, etc.) isn't cheap -Free accommodations during training -Generally friendly staff

Minpunten

-A complete "fend-for-yourself" affair if you are cut from the training early with no opportunities for other positions within the company -Unpaid training, must pay for flight yourself if necessary; you're not even considered an employee until you've completed their training -Training not meant for those without prior experience, DESPITE heavily assuring those without said experience could actually survive the curriculum -Cheap accommodations; force you to pair with a roommate, for better or (most of the time) worse even if you were checked-in solo/had a roommate that left the program -No organization and misleading practices -Incredibly low starting salaries for this field in IT--we're talking about 40K or so lower than the industry average Like another post pointed out, look at all of the fraudulent "reviews" posted within the same day. This is a relatively unknown, low-key corporation despite their claims for "success" of their Fasttrack'd program. Be smart and seek a reputable company with resources, quality training with pay (reduced or otherwise), and a better head on its shoulders in terms of vision, structure, and overall organization.

Pluspunten

The Java Spring part of the training was good but minimal. We only learned RESTful APIs with Spring Boot.

Minpunten

The Angular part of the course was outdated. We started with 8 students in the cohort, 1 dropped out and 7 graduated. None of the 7 were able to be placed. I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI. We only learned how to build CRUD applications.
