	John Smithe	Pros: Curriculum is well designed at of the appropriate depth and pace Fun projects to drive concepts home and learn more deeply Cons: Instructors are often more concerned with chatting among themselves than helping students Since the curriculum is constantly evolving, many exercises are described poorly leading to confusion among students Job placement help is almost non-existent. Many text resources available with general advice, but few connections to actual employers. A basic resume format is suggested and a half-assed resume review is given to each student. Contrast to Hack Reactor where the students resumes were very polished and even included a mini-portfolio. At our hiring day there were maybe 4 companies present. Again contrast that with the Hack Reactor hiring day I went to to try and recruit students for my current job where there were over a dozen employers actively recruiting. Student to teacher ratio is 8-10 to one, but at any given time at least one of the teachers is extremely new or is checked out because they're actively trying to find work elsewhere, or they're busy chatting about bullshit together. On the whole the program is a good fit for people who don't have the discipline to work through these tutorials and exercises in a timely fashion on their own.
