Not a big fan, I get a lot of applications from bootcamp graduates and some of them make it to the interview and none of them have passed the interview, so far. But I'm still open-minded about it. I think (and hope) the model will improve over time.
- 0hostus 8y agoHow come none have passed the interview phase? Lack of experience? Lack of knowledge? Trying to understand from a hiring perspective, as Im debating a bootcamp route.
- inktony 8y agoI work for a fortune 500 company. They are open to the idea of recruiting bootcamp graduates, however the interview process is still very CS oriented which BC graduates lack experience in. I'd say that's pretty much the only reason they don't make it through. Hopefully it changes :)
- verdverm 8y agoIt may also be that many boot camp students are from non analytical backgrounds, and thus lack some skills that are hard to teach. We've hired a boot camper who outperformed all the CS grads in contribution and continued learning. Most applicants struggle with things they weren't taught, we try to work through tech they haven't used before (during the interview) to gauge how well they learn / explore. In short, it really, really depends on the school and more so the student.
