I was in a part-time Lambda School cohort caught in the middle of the significant changes made at the end of 2020. It very much felt like a bait-and-switch. The experience prior to the changes was what I paid for. The experience after the changes wasn’t what I paid for. Lambda School’s pivot in this instance was way too big, way too fast, and way too poorly planned/executed. My experience went from having excellent Team Leaders(TLs) who graded my work, compulsory attendance, excellent Build Week TL and team members to an involuntary Mentor who ghosted me, a Track Team that never attended meetings, a Build Week with zero support, no attendance verification, no grading, and no response from Lambda School after consistent and repeated requests for support. It was a shocking difference in experience before/after. I get that Lambda School isn’t a bank, insurance company, hospital, or traditional school/university where massive risk results in massive risk aversion. But it’s no longer a “move fast, break things” MVP either. I went from being a strong vocal advocate for Lambda School to seriously questioning its business model. I do sincerely hope Lambda School’s program evolves in a positive direction for student outcomes. But in my experience and opinion, the Lambda School value proposition has taken a significant hit. I’m currently awaiting refund.
