Why people consider them
The original at-scale bootcamp, founded in 2011, with 40,000 alumni and a network of more than 19,000 hiring partners. Owned by the Adecco Group, and the course catalogue extends well beyond engineering into product management and marketing.
Honest weak points
At 4.27 it has the lowest rating on this list by a clear margin. Reviews since the acquisition repeatedly raise quality concerns, and some specifically cite outdated course materials. Tuition is $16,000-plus for five locations.
Where they beat Le Wagon Bali
A larger total alumni base, 40,000 against Le Wagon's 32,000, and a considerably stronger corporate hiring network in the United States. It also teaches non-technical tracks like product management and digital marketing that Le Wagon does not offer at all.
On pricing: Around $16,000 USD.
