The pros of the bootcamp is that it is 6 months as compared to most of the bootcamp. While You might be hesitant and think that but that is 3 months more than other bootcamps, I can assure You that the additional 3 months is exceptionally important as anyone can learn the tools but to graduate with the skills on how to think like an engineer, how to phrase your questions, when to ask for help and understanding the technology under the hood. These are the skills that prepare You for work. Any other bootcamp can teach you the tools, but knowing how to use the tools does not make You an engineer and once the tool fazes out, You will have to switch to a new tool otherwise You would be left behind. Learning how to think like an engineer is the most important part as while this bootcamp is for full-stack web development, I landed a job to become an associate cloud engineer without any prior experience in the field. When I asked my current supervisor as to why he picked me to join the company, he told me that he saw that I was thinking like an engineer and that was what RA provided through their curriculum as well as their weekly Q&A. Every week they would invite different engineers (ranging from Facebook to Google to Government Related Tech Sectors to engineers working in start-up) to let You figure out which environment You would prefer to work for as You can freely ask any questions You like. As for job support, Kai and Akira would take You through the resume-writing and the creation of your portfolio. The resume writing process was extremely well handled and the instructors would scrutinise every little detail to ensure that your resume is flawless before You start applying for jobs. For myself and the most of my batch, we had multiple offers after the 1st week of graduation. Additionally, the instructors were there to tell us if we should wait for more job offers and if the company was good for us. Ultimately, the job that You decide to go for is your own choice. Lastly, the instructors were using their connections to help us get interviews. The cons of this bootcamp is that You will need discipline to do the work and to SHOW UP for the online classes. You will need to have proactivity on your own. While the support is there, You cannot expect to acquire the skills and knowledge without putting in the work. I recommend RA to anyone who wants to switch to a career in tech who has the discipline and the drive to put in the work. The basics and fundamentals are covered comprehensively. There is a focus on Data-structure and Algorithms which is extremely useful for all engineers as well. No regrets taking on this bootcamp on my part. Loved every single moment of it and it has provided me the skills and how to think like an engineer.
