GBPromises Made But Not Kept Clever Programmer is a Hype Machine that makes promises, but can't deliver on them. The program is unorganized, unprofessional, under-delivered, and unstructured. 1. Disorganized with curriculum (nothing cohesive or transparent) 2. Lack of homework guidance, providing original homework, and no feedback on homework. 3. Lack of accountability by coaches. 4. Lack of communication between all employees. 5. Lack of standard pricing and price ranges from $5K to $22K. Need clearer pricing for all students. 6. Unprofessional because they cancelled a week of class because of their marketing event. There were no preparations to continue class because they needed our instructor, Naz. 7. Lack of consideration for all students. I got out of my contract because of health reasons, but everything I stated above is true. I am thankful I got out of my contract and it only cost me $1100 and I was switched to PWJ. But there are 13 + of my classmates who are fighting for a refund and Qazi won't give them a refund and IT IS HIS choice to do so. He gave two of my classmates a refund that I know of, but no one else. Shady stuff seems to go on there with the lack of communication.

GBStarted off well, then turned into a disaster I started in the March Cohort. It was the second cohort ever so I expected some road bumps but it was a disaster. I only paid 7.5k since it was an earlier one and it was a complete waste of money. If I had paid ~20k like they're charging now I would have sued them. For most of the teachers in our cohort, this was their first dev job. They have barely any experience. My teacher that we got dumped on in late April was always saying how he's tired from working all day and how he's out of it. Are you kidding me? we spent a lot of money and we get these half-ass teachers. I complained and got moved to a later BootCamp so I could learn with a better teacher and they did so there's that but since I had been teaching myself on youtube (because that was better than the 7.5k BootCamp I paid for) I just gave up and continued to learn on my own. I ended up getting a job based on the stuff I taught myself. They constantly harassed me after I ignored all their requests for a review since "they got me a job". So here it is, your review. Please stop calling and texting me all the time. The students who got jobs from the Boot Camp were basically experts when they joined. Most of the students from my cohort who actually finished are still trying to find jobs. Do yourself a favor and stay away. I have no one to blame but myself. I joined profit with javascript and that class was a joke and then I signed up for the BootCamp thinking it would be different. I made a good friend out of the Boot Camp. That is the only positive besides their willingness to let me switch cohorts. Don't buy anything on this site unless you love lighting money on fire.

GBhad to file a chargeback because they refused to refund me within 48hrs of checking out their slack channel, I was convinced that their lack of support, unanswered student questions, canceled zoom meetings, and low activity was not worth the price, there's a lot more active more communities on Discord, Twitter, etc, I emailed for a refund, and both Melanie from support and Qazi emailed me back trying to make me continue with the program, ignoring my refund request, Melanie later informed me she'd forward my request and I haven't heard from her since even though she's still posting on slack, but as far as learning JS and React, you can learn those two more affordably via Udemy and Youtube, and by building projects using concepts you learned so the material sticks, I truly regret ever doing business with this guy.

GBFullstack Mastery bootcamp student Fullstack Mastery bootcamp student here. I'm very happy with the results of my bootcamp experience taking me from someone dabbling with code to someone who has a firm grasp of major frontend and backend principles, project building experience, and team-oriented developer methodologies. Pros - fantastically engaging instructors - focus on deep learning of JavaScript basics and application of constant problem solving - guided self-learning projects - readily available community to push you forward as you build and develop skills - emphasis on continuous improvement as technologies change Cons - capstone project structure was disorganized - too little time spent on backend (node.js) as a fullstack program
