Not sure if it was a bad experience but also not really a good one - Anonymous employee The Data School Employee Review

I don’t see any of the reviews mentioned some of my points below so I would like to give info that you might’ve not seen on the job ads to those who are considering to apply for the program. Key word: the bench It actually started on a pretty good term, intensive training but 4 months passed by quickly. Then you got welcomed by the bench with full of hope that you’d go on placement very soon. Unfortunately, the layoff happened, not once but twice, a bunch of people got made redundant, including from Sydney and Melbourne with no written notice! Overall I think it was a good program, you learned from some of the best resources and also from real clients’ projects. It probably went down hill due to not adapting quickly enough with the market demands (they were focusing too much on Tableau and Alteryx, 80% of the training was for these 2 tools). The culture was pretty good too, nice people to work with, company was quite generous when organising events, parties, etc until recently looks like they started to go on budget due to not making enough profit, which is understandable.
