Lambda School is good place to gain confidence if you're starting completely from square one and/or struggle with the concepts on your own. They have many different resources to seek help if you need it. That being said, if you're smart enough to get through Lambda without any major hiccups, you're smart enough to self-teach with some Udemy courses for fractions of the price. If you're looking to come here for accountability or to have someone personally review your code on a regular basis, this is not for you. I'd recommend attending the first month or two at the max if you're interested and then leaving before you owe the full 30k. The price is not anywhere close to the value and was a major reason I left the program. Build weeks are a joke - half the team doesn't show up and no one bats an eye. Theres no project manager to hold any individual or the team itself accountable if they're contributing poor code or lack thereof. Attendance is "monitored" but it's not enforced (i.e. no consequences as long as you are submitting assignments that no one even checks for completion to begin with). Attending long enough to participate in a build week (Unit 2) may be beneficial just to get an idea of how the git flow works on a team but you could just as easily sign up for a hackathon for free and get the same experience. The lack of leadership is also a major problem. I've messaged several staff in the past for help and have gotten no response from them - if you're not congratulating on a job well done they'll turn off notifications and ignore you. The mentor/mentee program needs some work. It's great if you have someone that's genuinely interested, but since being a mentor is unpaid and required, most people find mentoring to be a distraction from learning how to code themselves and don't make a real effort. Overall, please don't sign up for this unless you're just looking for an expensive networking opportunity. The accountability and the community just isn't robust enough to justify the price of completing the whole thing. |
