Pros

In the current market, working at SkillStorm is a great way to get your foot into desirable companies. They train you in what you will be working with once you're deployed with their client. Having a cohort is a great way to make connections in the industry, and working with them on projects opens up many opportunities to learn from their experiences. Training is remote, and the client might also offer a remote opportunity.

Cons

Disorganization: You're always unsure of what is going on or what will happen to you. For 12 weeks, I was constantly in fear of getting laid off due to low performance or for any other reason. Unreasonable training expectations: They expect you to learn a bunch of technologies and tools in a short amount of time while your performance is being tested concurrently. Who learns Java in a week and the Spring environment the following week? It's not feasible. Deployment issues: This might have more to do with the client, but you might not end up working with the client you trained for if something changes.

Pros

Good entry level role. Training videos weren't great but you have a proffessor available at any time. You start at 15 dollars during 3 months of training then 27 when you move to the location for the first year. The pay is increased to possibly 32 for the 2nd year depending on your evaluation.

Cons

You will likely need to relocate. The initial role they offer may not be the one you end up with. I was offered a full stack position but I had to pivot to a data engineering role, which I learned was not for me. This specefic role was a data engineer consultant which focused heavily on presenting.
