Good project but the coding environment is buggy and it would keep disconnecting sometimes deleting my work

I wanted to give one star but I gave an extra star just because of their behavioral interview instructors. I started my job search process last year, I had my green card process on hold as a result I asked them to put the class on hold for me however, I still got notifications for the same stating that my task assignments are overdue. I had to reach out to them like 3 times and then they stopped the notification for me. 5 months later when I was ready to start the class, I did not get any job interviews from them just lot of assessments. The interviewer for behavioral interview were good but other than that I had a really bad experience. Finally I landed a job which I applied on my own without any help from HiCounselor and still pay them. Seems like the Company is using the crisis in job market as their advantage. The introduction is done by the CEO where he states that he is readily always available by email for any concerns/questions but you never get a response from him. Infact, while being enrolled in program I got emails and LinkedIn messages to join their career accelerator program which shows they do not have their user data organized . Do I regret joining the program Big YES. Pros: Behavioral interview help but I can believe u can get that help with any HR person or career coach or just practicing mock interviews with your friends/family. Cons: a) Not worth the money b)Adds added task while you are already stressed about finding work c) They have this job fair do an hour long event where you apply for open jobs that they have collaboration with and still there is no update from those postings as well. To round it up, For future job seekers DO NOT waste your time and money; You can try and would easily find jobs on your own. Funny part; they have disclaimer that says this a genuine review and I have not been offered any incentive to leave review but the company representative sent an mail stating submit a review and you may be eligible for $25 amazon giftcard.
