I got an entry level SWE position. A bunch of my peers have also landed really awesome positions. It's all about what you put into it, but Lambda School as a whole is just very chaotic. I think if executed properly it would be a pretty good option for people.

I have worked with and managed quite a few code school grads (in my city there are several). This matches my experience with them. You kind of just get force-fed a bunch of content, and if you're a person that does the (extra) work to retain that information, you have the opportunity to find success.

I have also observed that lots of code school grads move away from coding immediately on graduation. Lots of QA/PM types come from them (at least here). This is not necessarily a negative.
