Anecdotally, I pushed very hard to have a bootcamp graduate from one of those programs hired, because I was very impressed by his learning and commitment, as well as the achievements in his previous career. However in the end I was overruled by others unfamiliar with the specific technology and relying only on raw years of experience numbers. I think he accepted a different offer and relocated--unfortunately, another case of management not listening to the front-line troops (but not so for him, as he's better off elsewhere). (And as another poster noted, I believe he was one of the few in the program who was fairly new to development.)
