"At Hack Reactor, where tuition costs over $17,000, 99 percent of students are offered a job at companies like Adobe and Google."

That seems at odds with my general perception of who Google recruits and of the tough nature of their interviews... Anyone have first hand experience of going through one of these without prior tech experience and then landing a job at Google or other name-brand employers?



I am currently a senior at Hack Reactor, and I can vouch for the high quality of education and job prep that HR gives its students. The figures that HR mention are real, and we have students who are now working at places like Google.

"We have students who are now working at places like Google" is nothing like the same as "99% of our graduates receive job offers from companies like Adobe and Google."


I love the line "companies like Adobe and Google".

McDonald's is a company like Adobe and Google, in the sense that it has a name and sells things.


Right, that's my thought also - what % actually at least gets an interview at Google, and what % gets hired?


Does "like Google" mean "Google, for example" or does it mean "places that are like Google, but not necessarily Google"?

I assume it is the first, not the misleading second. ;)


I think they are on to a good thing 17 k is cheaper than 100k and you save all that money you can study cs on your own no job is garanteed at 100k education anyway the problem is the university system is bullshit and to expensive this will get bigger frameworks and java script is kicking there ass c++ takes to long to learn.
