One thing that I've noticed in interviewing people is that those with a previous STEM background seem to get a lot more out of the programs. I assume it's because they already have an understanding of problem solving & analytical thinking (whether it comes naturally or they were taught it) and so coding bootcamp is just learning a new syntax for their problem solving. One of our best engineers is a Carnegie Mellon EE grad who did a coding bootcamp, he's an awesome coder. On the flip side those who come to me with a liberal arts degree + bootcamp just don't seem to have the same problem solving skills. This is all a generalization of course but it's what I've seen doing lots of interviews.
