Really helpful in coaching you through the interview process. I think overall this is a really good program. Coach Darek, Coach Adelson and Coach Tim were extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot under their mentorship and guidance. But I think they handle a lot of mentees so when you are actively interviewing you probably won't get as many meetings as you'd expect. They rolled out AI automated reviews for self paced work as well to fill in the gap.

The coaches were really able to give me a good foundation and framework to get me prepared for the coding interview as well as the behavioral interview. The preparation was 1:1 daily and schedule was adjusted at needed. Thank you so much for helping me land a job!

I highly recommend Coachable to anyone who is looking to start their career in Software Engineering. I used Coachable when I was transitioning from a career in finance to SWE. Before Coachable, I was self-studying, taking online courses, using textbooks, and working on a couple personal projects. This all gave me a good base of knowledge, and Coachable was the right next step to prepare me for the job market. Here are the primary reasons I recommend Coachable to others in a similar situation: 1) Coachable will keep you focused. There are seemingly infinite different paths one can go down when studying and preparing for coding interviews on their own. Before starting with Coachable, I struggled with either spending too much time on a specific topic or getting distracted by doing too much at once. Coachable provides a clear schedule and curriculum that makes sure you focus on what matters, and that you don't move past a topic until you prove that you understand it. 2) There's no replacement for 1-on-1 mentorship. For me, by far the biggest benefit of using Coachable was the opportunity to talk 1-on-1 with my coach (who was a current SWE at a big tech company with 3 YOE) multiple times a week. When studying on my own, if a concept didn't immediately click for me, I found it difficult to seek out and find a different explanation online that did resonate with me. I would spend lots of time reading the same "tutorial"-level explanations, but if I had a specific technical question I needed answered to unlock my understanding, I often couldn't find it. When I started with Coachable, I noticed the pace of my *actual* learning increase exponentially. What I was missing was the instant feedback-loop from being able to discuss a concept with an experienced engineer. With that feedback, if I was not understanding something (or worse, misunderstanding something), I could immediately have that corrected by talking it through with my coach. 3) Live coding practice. In addition to reviewing the curriculum with your coach, you get the chance to have frequent live coding practice. My coaching sessions would often start with a short coding problem based on the curriculum I had recently covered. For me, it was very helpful to practice coding in front of another person, explaining my thought process as I worked through the question and the solution, and receiving feedback at the end. With sufficient practice, this can go a long way in improving your performance in actual coding interviews. 4) Career focus. Coachable understands the job market and understands what skills employers are looking for. Before Coachable, I was reacting to skills I would see listed in job postings, trying to cast to wide a net for myself (back-end + full stack). With Coachable, I was proactive about the skills I was learning and I stayed focused on preparing myself for a back-end role at a tech company, which is what I truly wanted. 5) The payment structure. Unlike a bootcamp, where you could invest thousands of dollars upfront with no assurances of it leading to employment, Coachable does it right. They get paid if you get a job. That is the right way to structure a program like this, and it helps lower the barrier to entry.

I went through Coachable from mid-2022 to early 2023, and I strongly believe that they have the resources to land students in good positions even outside periods of economic downturn. I think a lot of it relies on the student being proactive, both in studying as well as networking within and without the program, but if a student puts in the effort, then they should be more then capable of landing interviews and offers from their target organizations/industries.

Codebreaker is simply the best. Their educational services are so wonderful. No wonder they remain the first and the best.

Code breakers is undoubtedly a great place for all those people who are passionate towards their career and willing to see them as a software developer in FAANG.

I had the best experience at CodeBreakers! The typical new grad interview process contains leetcode and behavioral. They are awesome in both areas and helped me to get offer from Amazon and Meta. I will start with behavioral, which was the hardest for me. Although I took a CS-related master, I didn't have CS background before. I was suffering from imposter syndrome and not believing myself can get a job. Coach Peter helped me a lot with behavior interview. He gave me a lot insight of the industry and let me know it is ok for a new grad to know little. And the most important thing is confidence and how you tell your story. Peter is really good at finding the good qualities of you and make you get your confidence back. And with the technic he taught you, I believe you can conquer every behavior interview. In terms of leetcode, I know you have to put A LOT effort in and it cannot get better by just talking. But a good coach can help you do it more efficiently and hopefully more enjoyable. That's exactly how I felt with Coach Robert. He came fully prepared with all the information you need. You can put all your effort in just doing leetcode. They also do the BEST mock interview. You can get familiar with the procedure and not being nervous during the real interview. One best thing about Coach Peter is that he always encourage me and acknowledge every small progress I made. Everyone in CodeBreakers genuinely wants to help people and you can definitely feel it. I had the most painless job hunting experience with CodeBreakers. Highly recommend to anyone wants to get a FAANG level job!

Codebreakers is one of the top, career accelerating firms in the US. Whether you are just a fresh graduate about to complete your degree, or an experienced professional in the software industry, codebreakers has much more to offer you than you can realize. I started with codebreakers mentorship program about 6 months back, and worked closely with highly experienced coaches and industry experts to prepare myself for FAANG interviews. Technical skills required in interviews for top software companies are very demanding, but codebreakers would help you prepare for every aspects of those interviews. The reason why their mentorship model has worked so nicely for me, as well as for lot of other mentees is that, rather than just fast tracking you through the "essentials course", they make sure that they understand your current skill level and give you a personalized pathway, which is destined to set you up for success. You can schedule infite number of mocks, learning sessions, career coaching sessions, with more than 15 highly skilled coaches on any time of the day, based on your own availability. Not only you'd be successful to get that most desired job like I have, what you'll learn in codebreakers would be helpful for your entire career, like the people skills, technical and problem solving skills, and decision making skills that you'd acquire working closely with the mentors. Coach Darek, Coach Serdar, and Coach Peter have been very helpful to me during my time at codebreakers, and they still are and I'm sure they'll be in future. This is your chance to be a part of great community. And, by the way, if you are also finding it difficult to secure interviews with top firms, look no further, and come onboard.
