I've worked with a number of bootcamp graduates and I've found the experience extremely refreshing. There are perspectives, skillsets and domain expertise that can come from having transitioned into an engineering career later or from other fields, that more conventional computer scientists often don't/can't have. Whilst there are situations where pre-requisite CS knowledge is crucial, my experience is that there are equally many where that doesn't factor heavily into your ability to effectively work in a technical role.

I don't mean to be disrespectful (but will risk doing so as I thought the original question was negative), but ironically as an employer I would place preference over the ability communicate effectively and respectfully, unlike the way the question above was asked.

N.b I'm a "vanilla" CS grad (although wouldn't claim to have an in-depth knowledge of the areas you've listed twice).
