I would agree with others who say it depends on the school and the student. The most important thing to note about bootcamps is that their "Learn to code in N weeks" is an exaggerated sales pitch. No bootcamp alone can get you job ready in that time, in sort of the same way that doing a CS degree but doing basically no coding modules will not make you very hireable (as an engineer). The bootcamp students who do well are those who understand that the course simply fast-tracks you through the first stages of learning, and gives you strong and useful tools to learn further. These are only strong and useful if you acknowledge this and decide to use them and keep improving (maybe by filling in the CS theory which as another poster noted, is missing from bootcamp curriculum).
