WeCloudData

As a graduate majoring in statistics in 2019, I deeply realized the cruelty of the society after graduation. I have no internship background and no project experience in university, so I couldn't find a job that matches my major. In January 2021, I joined... Read More WeCloud Data "Data Science Diploma Applied Data Science and Big Data" Boot Camp. The course lasts for 13 weeks, ranging from elementary coding to personal project, and the content of the course is from simple to profound, enabling even those with no professional background to understand, realizing from zero to Hero. The course also includes free one-on-one resume editing services for professional teams, interview question preparation, mock interviews, and more. In general, during the 10 months of working with the WCD team, I feel that I have been treated as a customer service and got the job offer of my dream company. I am very grateful to WCD as an educational platform and to everyone who has helped me. If you are looking for a platform to learn Data Science, don't hesitate to choose WCD.

I decided to take this course when I got a promotion that would give me the opportunity to migrate my career to the data engineering field. The course was really great a little too fast if you are not in a technical field already. You will need to study... Read More hard reviewing classes and making the labs and assignments but you always have the support of the TAs (they are awesome) or even the instructors and your own classmates that are always helping each other via Slack. You will learn how to create pipelines in AWS and a bit of Gcloud (I wish I had learned more about GCP). There will be a final project where you will need to present a pipeline that you created (don't worry they will be helping you!) In the end, they will be doing some review classes that are super helpful to link everything you have learned together. Then, they will be helping you to find a job. I didn't take advantage of the job support because I will get a promotion in my current job but they offered me for next year if I want their help they will be available. That's the awesome part about this school, their support during and after the course is amazing. Shaohua is always looking for the best for his students, he wants to make sure that you have the best experience with them. I highly recommend this course and this school.

I'm writing this review to share my story with WeCloudData and how it helped me land a job in the Data Science industry. I have three friends who graduated from the program and they all have a decent data job right now, which left me a great first impression... Read More about this program while I was looking to switch my career to something more tech-oriented. The curriculum and materials are well-designed. It keeps you busy (yet not frustrated) for three months and immerses you in the data world to achieve lots in a such short time. The program follows a logic of easy to hard, basic to advanced, and in a sequence of data science life cycle, so it's very friendly to any data/tech noobs like myself. And more importantly, the reason I say they do beyond teaching is, that WeCloudData provides 100% support on your job searching. They often invite managers of the data department, industry insiders, experienced workers, interview coaches to have a seminar/webinar and share their knowledge with the class. They will help you with resume building, interview prep, and even mock interviews sometimes. If you are still having trouble landing a job, you can also keep developing yourself by retaking the course or working on projects. With their well-developed program and supportive job searching guidance, I was able to land a job in a data science team at a leading financial company. While I have mentioned so many advantages about this program, there is a minor flaw that I felt the connection between me and my class is rather weak (I didn't even know what some of my classmates look like when the program was finished). However, I think this is what every school is experiencing at this certain time, and I can see that WeCloudData is actively working on some improvements to engage students. Overall, I'll still rate WeCloudData and its Data Science program at 5/5.

I completed the Data Engineering bootcamp at Weclouddata and was fortunate to land a job approximately 1 month after graduating. The instructors are people who currently work in industry and have plenty of experience. For Data Engineering, projects are... Read More the only real way to learn the skills. I’m glad that we had midterm and final projects to build data pipelines on the cloud (Amazon AWS) because that is the only way you can really learn. These projects have deadlines and require presentations so the pressure to perform is real, but that is how you learn fast. They teach you a very up-to-date Data engineering tech stack. This can easily be confirmed by looking at job postings on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc, and seeing what skills are typically required and/or sought after. As with all bootcamps, the limited amount of time given to cover a wide range of subjects is always difficult. It can be overwhelming at first and you will need to quickly adapt. Lectures and labs can only provide you so much. Independent self-learning on your own time is crucial. As many others have mentioned, the most significant reason that makes WCD stand out is its corporate partnerships. These companies, ranging from high profile multinationals to small local startups, provide real development work for the students and in turn makes all the difference on your resume. The organization has strong relationships with hiring managers and recruiters in industry, so while nobody can ever guarantee you a job, at the very least your resume will be seen by many of the right people in the right places which will eventually translate into a higher probability of success. As of mid-2021, the North American job market for Data engineering is red hot. As long as you work hard in this program, you have a good chance of success.

Finished Data Engineering full-time program and I would recommend this program if you are looking to learn highly demanding data engineering skills and gain knowledge of industry tools. The program teaches about cloud technologies (AWS/CGP) and many other... Read More DE tools for processing massive amounts of data. The projects are great and challenging and you will learn a lot. The full-time program allows you to work with real clients and there I learnt a lot while working on client's projects and solving real business problems. As a career switcher, I found this experience extremely valuable to land a job in the new field.

As a recent grad, I wasn't satisfied with my degree and felt a bit lost. After doing some research I realized I wanted to pursue data science. I considered many different boot camps, but I felt WeCloudData's program "Applied Data Science and Big Data"... Read More best served my learning goals. The program teaches you the fundamentals to be a great data scientist. The classes are small, allowing time for you to ask as many questions as you want. The TA's are extremely helpful and always willing to help. The projects were a great practical learning experience, and helped me build a portfolio I'm extremely proud of. The program had many guest lectures from industry professionals, allowing you to get a better feel of the practical use cases in various industries and tools. On top of that, you make many great connections with other students by collaborating on projects, it really felt like a family and only made me love the program even more. Career support was also fantastic, the team is always keeping students up to date on opportunities and referrals. I got more interviews than I expected in a short amount of time. I was also matched with a mentor, who gave great resume and job search advice as well. It made me feel much more comfortable during my job search. My only concern about the program was I wish TAs gave more detailed feedback on projects and presentations. You have to be proactive in getting more feedback. I also felt that some sections of the program were rushed, and saw myself getting lost. But as said before, the TAs are always willing to help. It's important to know that during and after the BootCamp, you really do have to put in the work. WeCloudData does a great job at setting the foundation for your data science path, but you have to work hard on your portfolio, understanding topics, and being aggressive in the job market.

I'm writing this review because WeCloudData really changed my life. I'm a Data Engineer now who working in a big data company. But can you imagine before WeCloudData, I have been searching job for 2 years. As a new immigrant without too much IT technical... Read More skills, it was really hard to land a satisfying job. Then, I found WeCloudData and took the course of Data Science diploma. This changed my life, I found the data engineer job 4 months after graduation. There are 3 important things I took from WeCloudData: 1 Skills. In WeCloudData I mastered the skills, like python, SQL, pandas, numpy, machine learning, deep learning, linux, AWS etc, which are all must-have skills when searching job in the data industry. 2 Insight of Data. WeCloudData is a purely school on data, which provide us a professional data culture. It make me have a deep understanding about data.This is very important when I was having interviews. 3 Experiences. It is really hard to land a job if you don't have any experience in an industry, especially in the Data industry. Luckily, I got the experience from WeCloudData. After graduation from WeCloudData, we have options to choose projects and companies to work with according to our career path. You may stay in the project until you land a job. Of course, there are also other benefit about WeCloudData, such as referal, job recommendation, interview coaching, guest lecture, etc. So, if you are new immigrant, or a fresh graduates or a job switcher I highly recommend WeCloudData.

**Note** I am reviewing for the two courses I graduated from Data science and Data engineering (the drop down didn't let me select these two) This is the best data and AI school available based on my assessment: can you get a job after completing the... Read More program? My answer is yes as I have personally found work each time I enrolled in one of their programs - I enrolled in data science and data engineering bootcamps. Importantly, I came for the knowledge, but stayed for the community. Pros - Teaches you all the relevant topics and skills needed to get the job done in real world - Projects, assignments and exercises to help you build up the muscle memory - Extremely supportive team helping you land a job Cons - The bootcamp is intense and you will have to provide the focus, effort and time commitment - It will feel overwhelming but it's worth it in the end

WeCloudData helps me a lot for the past few years. I learned what is the data world looks like and how to live in this new world. Not only the instructors but also the alumni are super professional and supportive. Every time I want to feel confused about... Read More the next step on my career path, I can always find an answer here. If you are considering about move to the data industry, WeCloudData is your best choice forever.

I completed the WeCloudData DS & Big Data Diploma Bootcamp as a Career switcher from with a non-stem background. After completion of the diploma I had the opportunity through WCD to work on projects as an intern with real world clients with their DS/DE... Read More teams. The bootcamp + client project opportunity makes WCD the best value for career switchers. After completion of client projects, I was also provided with career support and a mentor (past alum) to help with job hunting. They provided prep. material prior to starting the course to help you get ready for the program. The program itself is very intensive. Be prepared to dedicate yourself fully for the duration of the program. That being said, the instructors and TA's are mindful of weekends and holidays. If you are serious about Data related career, I highly recommend WCD courses. You get what time and effort you put into the program. Everyday, we had 3-4 hours of lectures and another 3-4 hours of TA office hours where we could work through labs and projects for our portfolio. The TA hours are optional but I highly recommend attending, you learn a lot by participating in them. They host guest lectures and networking events for students with companies actively recruiting DS/DA/DE positions. Attend the guest lectures, very beneficial for networking. Even afterhours, you could reach TAs and Instructors via e-mail or slack. The faculty is very dedicated and always accommodate your questions or struggles during the learning process. ​I never felt alone during the Bootcamp or unassisted. Class sizes are small so you every instructor and TA knows you personally. Honestly, I can't be more grateful in hindsight for choosing WCD. They make an unmatched effort in ensuring all their graduates get hired.
