Anecdotal: Currently managing two code camp interns and I'm impressed with the amount they cover in a meager 3 months but they're junior level developers for sure. Without some previous experience in software, its hard to believe most are worthy of mid-shelf salaries. There's certainly a huge skill gap between the code campers vs anyone we've hired with previous experience. Just the day to day tacit skills ticket management, git work flows, variance in tech stacks, client feedback, interfacing with designers, interactions with project managers, ux decisions, and so forth just can't be crammed into such a short period. I'm impressed by code-camps as web development and software development takes a long time but code campers are green. If you're in a position to take on junior devs, it seems a great way to expand a team and delegate jr level tasks to. TLDR: I'd hire a code camp graduate to fill junior positions - there's just too many soft skill gaps that code schools don't have time to.
