"TERRIBLE PROGRAM. PURPOSELY DECEPTIVE TO GET YOU TO ENROLL"

Thinkful has a good Full Stack Flex program, but uses their stats from this program to be purposely deceptive about their other programs. I was enrolled in the data science program which was marketed to me by their "get a job or your money back" slogan... Read More

"FullStack Flex"

The only thing I'm not a huge fan of, is how the curriculum is laid out. It's mostly reading, which can be difficult for visual learners like myself. Luckily, there are resources available to help drive home some of the harder concepts. It would be nice to have some videos to go along with the material.

Having a mentor is one of the greatest assets. They are there to get you unstuck and help with any concepts that may be unclear. Everyone at Thinkful genuinely wants you to succeed, and for that I'm extremely grateful.
