Revature is not a scam, but they will treat you very poorly. I would compare it to being enlisted in the Army / bootcamp.

The design of this program is to replace some of the H1-B labor that is now being restricted. Just like H1-B you are not going to get treated great but you do have more rights certainly.

This is the best way to think about: the developer community is very active on Twitter / definitely liberal on labor issues. We all are also well paid and not very concerned about being fired. If Revature was a total scam, it would not be long before we heard stories on HN (indeed we are hearing one now) and then I guarantee both Revature and the companies employing their services would be faced with such fire and fury it would shake the whole tech world...just look at FB contractors right now.

NOTE: Trilogy Bootcamp sucks I know
