ATTENTION ALL SOFTWARE NEW GRADS. PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE APPLYING…
There are TOO MANY CONS that I had faced hence the 1 star rating.
1. I received a external job offer which starts after my mthree training ends, and I had told mthree about this, the very first thing they did was forcibly remove me from the program on the same day. I say forcibly because they had the audacity to send me a survey afterwards asking as to why I had “voluntarily left”… funny. Once I had pointed out this was not in the training agreement (nor on their FAQs) that students have to sign, they said it’s their own “policy”. IN THE TRAINING AGREEMENT IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT FORCIBLY REMOVING STUDENTS AFTER A JOB OFFER. They have some serious legal issues, and to all those new grads reading this, this company has just made an example out of me and you should all see that they now update their “training agreement” to include this. Please DO NOT ENROLL INTO MTHREE!!! IF YOU DO RECEIVE A JOB OFFER DURING THEIR TRAINING PLEASE DO NOT DISCLOSE THIS WITH THEM.
2. The recruiters advertised these roles to people with little to no software experience but the instructors assume you have a undergrad degree in computer science. I was not even told that I needed a Windows Operating System for my C# course until the instructor mentioned it. Too many barriers and you’ll feel like it’s a uphill battle and the end result is to get underpaid.
3. You will be overworked!! They stretch what should be a semester worth of content into 5 weeks. If you are a Canadian student looking for a software role they will pay you a lowball offer around $65k when the average junior developer here makes $80k and they will make you stay for 2 years minimum.
4. The final reason you should NOT invest your time at mthree is because they do not see value in their students, they are a textbook employment agency.
They will only be by your side if you stick with them for at least 2 years or they will cut you off. When I tried BEGGING to my coordinators to let me stay and finish my program they said “from a business point of view there is no reason to continue”.
It’s hilarious. These are the same people/recruiters who posted things on LinkedIn in the past like “let’s put the HUMAN back in Human Resources”. I called the recruiting specialists and expressed my frustration and instead of trying to understand me they said “change your tone it’s like you’re personally attacking us, maybe then we can help”. I guess their specialists need to understand the 5 stages of grief. I was in denial then anger.
At the end of the day mthree only cares about milking money out of you and not your mental health or anything else. I was literally building a front-end application when they removed me from the slack channel and the course, once they saw that investing in someone who found another job is now “useless” to them, even though the job starts afterwards.
