![]() Overall I'd have to give Flatiron a 3/10 for trying really hard, but ultimately being one of the most deceitful and scummy companies I've ever worked with, and that's saying a lot. $600/mo for the next three years of my life, all because I wanted easier payments and to make sure that I would actually graduate from the program. I am also stuck in the ISA that I cannot get out of. Flatiron tries to push jobs that pay you $15/hr when a Jr engineer should make at least $32/hr or more. My career coach was fortunate enough to be sensible and advised me of my worth. They advertise the worst possible positions (in cities and states that I don't live in/near nor did I want to relocate to those cities/states) and also push you to apply to those positions. To say that this service is a joke is a severe understatement. I then started receiving emails from "Employee Partnerships". The second coach was amazing, but I fought tooth and nail to get him. To put it nicely, my first career coach was a straight up asshole and I had to speak with the director of career services to get a different coach. I graduated Dec 2019 and went on holiday to celebrate my success! After I got back, I started working with Career Services and my Career Coach. She also told multiple people that she didn't want the new mod that was coming in to associate with us because our cohort "didn't represent Flatiron." It was incredibly rude and uncalled for, especially when we had struggled so hard to overcome all the challenges we had faced and were all doing incredibly well. ![]() ![]() "My tummy hurts after cake", "My wife is sick I have to go home and take care of her", "I'm deathly ill", "We're all a little sleepy after lunch, let's have lecture tomorrow instead." until the first two weeks of Mod 4 had come and gone and she happily moved onto the brand new incoming cohort while we had to work on Mod 4 projects. After that she made a million and one excuses as to why she either couldn't answer our questions or teach us a lecture. She taught us exactly one lecture, "All about ". I spent most of my bootcamp on code academy and watching youtube videos that would teach me more information in 10 minutes than Flatiron could in a week.ĭuring Mod 4 (9 weeks into the 15 week program), they finally hired a new Lead Instructor. Then Flatiron started flying random Lead Instructors in from all over (such as Chicago and New York), but none of them stayed longer than 9 days, which was not long enough to teach us the required material. They tried their hardest, but did not succeed. The TA's had to step in and each taught us random lectures that were very poor. It was either day two (or day three, my memory fails me now, sorry) that every Lead Instructor quit at our campus. The first day or two of school was fabulous. ![]() Software Engineer is around $65,000/yr, that means generally you should expect to be making a little over $5,400/mo before taxes. "But, u/brbdead, If you make $3,333/mo before taxes then you don't pay that fee!"Yes, technically you're right. There is a convenience fee of 50% of the amount financed added to the bill that has to be paid off as well. While this is true, it's not the full story. Their website still, to this day, states that it's a simple 10% of gross income repayment until the loan is paid off. I wanted to pay the full amount of school upfront but was persuaded to do the Income Share Agreement because it seemed like a simple repayment plan. I'm going to break this into three parts: Before, During, and After. I'd also like to say, there's so much more to this story, (seriously, I could write a book) but I'm trying to keep it rather relevant to anyone that might potentially be thinking of attending school. I'm not trying to be anonymous here, there's just no need to mention the campus location as it does not exist anymore (so there's no worries of you accidentally going to that campus). Hi guys, I have to preface this with the fact that I did graduate in 2019 from Flatiron School and I did get a job in March of 2020, but I won't be disclosing the campus just for general privacy reasons.
