Way overpriced and too basic - I did a remote visual design course over 8 weeks ($2800). The instructor barely gave feedback on our homework. Try classes at a community college or university extension first for a fraction of the price.

I attended General Assemblys Software Engineering Immersive remote program in January of 2021. Overall, it was a very positive experience for me!Even though it was remote, my cohort was New York-based so we operated on Eastern Time and most of the instructors were from the East coast. I was told that the New York cohorts are unique because they use a different instructor for each of the 4 units. Other cohorts apparently usually have 2 co-instructors that switch off and each teaches 2 units. This was both a pro and a con sometimes for me because the program is 12 weeks long and the units are only 3 weeks each. Just when you get comfortable with the instructors teaching style, you are whisked away into the next unit with a new instructor. This can be a positive if you dont really like a particular instructor or are struggling with the teaching style, but it can also be negative since it can be jarring to switch up so quickly.Overall, the program is intense! Im sure youve read many other reviews that say this because its true! It can definitely get overwhelming, especially if you have little-to-no experience with coding/programming before entering the program. You can easily bet on having 10+ hour days at least 5 days/week. Whats nice is that you usually get a little bit of a break during the weekend because Fridays homework USUALLY isnt due until Sunday of that week, so you can take a weekend day off if you need/want.Ultimately, you get what you put into the program. I mentioned before that it can be very overwhelming to learn new languages in general, but especially if you dont have any background coding experience/exposure. That being said, there were quite a few of my classmates that had very little prior experience with coding that did extremely well. If youre hungry to learn and truly invest yourself in this bootcamp, I believe you will have a positive experience. This is definitely not an easy program, you will have to put in the work, but if you do, it will be worth it!About job support: each cohort has a dedicated career coach which you meet with (as a group) multiple times throughout the program. Your career coach creates interactive presentations on various topics regarding the job search such as: building your personal brand, tips for your portfolio website, etc. If you qualify for Outcomes (which is GAs program for job-seekers), you are given additional support such as more meetings/workshops with your career coach and additional slack channels for job seekers where jobs are posted multiple times per day, often from companies who have hired GA grads before.I had a very positive experience with GAs Software Engineering Immersive program and truly believe that anyone from any background can be successful if you work hard, stay positive, and keep a growth mindset.

Signed up for Intro to Dig Marketing class..times were switched from evening to daytime and then class was canceled the day of the event. Not typical of my experiences with them, but incredibly frustrating and disappointing.

Very vibrant and energetic ambience.

Everyone is really friendly
