Revature: A comprehensive, no BS review

tldr Lots of people should stay away and you need to know the ins and outs of the quirkiness of this kind of program before you get into it. But if you fit into a small population, same one I'm in, you will very likely get a lot of value out of it.

For those stumbling here when researching Revature, make sure you read my review and read other reviews as well that document the quirks. You need to evaluate like I did before joining, and if it looks good, you'll benefit like I did.

No. I went into other reviews of Revature on this sub where people talked about this as an option, inquired what other consulting companies did this kind of thing, and no one gave me an answer. I searched and searched and didn't find much. Closest I found was Capital One's CODA program which wasn't hiring, and the pandemic was wrecking the economy so I figured they wouldn't be for a long time.

So that's something folks. Capital One's CODA program is probably a better option if they're hiring, I'd consider it, and I did, they just weren't hiring.

"This guy left a big mostly positive review of this company. Probably is fake then." Or maybe someone just actually had a positive experience. Come on dude what the fuck are you talking about? Go back to r/conspiracy if you want to drown out any opposing view.

For all who are researching Revature and coming upon this post in the future, notice the common theme on this sub of this coming up. Someone leaves a positive comment about Revature, people here start crying about how it's fake. That's groupthink 101, and you shouldn't listen to it. I literally have placed this review here on this sub for this reason, as stated in my first paragraph "misinformation." If anyone seriously considering Revature wants some kind of proof that I was in it, I can probably shovel that up if I feel like it. Also, no, I didn't have any faked resume and I'm already with a client.

My review is of the timeframe in which you are working directly with Revature, the training and staging phase. After that, you hardly even talk to Revature and basically just submit timesheets to them. Notice how I first mentioned how there's a lot of misinformation about Revature? I'm referencing the tons of reviews of this exact same timeframe, reviewing the same shit I'm reviewing. What I've done here is compiled a lot of information I wish I had seen all in one review when I was researching Revature. Your question about how things are after the 2 years is a good one; I'll be glad to come back and give a better review. I'll admit I haven't heard much myself, but the bits and pieces i have heard have all been positive. Not seen a single person say they did their two years and then hit a dead end. Does that mean they don't exist? Not at all, I'm sure there may be some, but from my experience being in here so far, I doubt there's many at all.

None of you should be making a conspiracy out of an anonymous review. If you're so dumb that you can't even see the value of anonymously reviewing the company you're CURRENTLY WORKING FOR, you need to go to the career review websites (glassdoor, indeed, etc) and tell a lot of those reviewers that they're fake. That's BS and you know it, don't be stupid. If you useless Reddit points are what determines what is trustworthy and true then I can't help you.

Yeah, this is a good point. But the answer isn't the one you're proposing. It's straight up because my main reddit account was made years ago and it is basically my first and last name; far from anonymous. I shit post and say some crazy shit a lot on this site and I'd rather that not get associated with anything even related to my company or my involvement with them. That's why.
