Pros

As a volunteer, you're able to relatively understand the work environment you are signing up to teach. You enter with the understanding that you will be working with high-school students, and you will do your best to cultivate and grow their understanding of coding.

Cons

Short time to complete training.

Pros

Creating innovative solutions for streamlining work processes can garner widespread approval, positioning you as a valuable contributor. Graduating with any degree enhances your credibility and earns you increased respect within the professional sphere. The structured nature of the tech leadership in the cybersecurity domain further underscores its significance.

Cons

The job demands a lot for relatively modest compensation. In a small company, you're expected to take on various roles. There's an implicit expectation to continue working outside regular hours – it's not explicitly stated, but failure to deliver signals a problem. Historically, the company focused on quantity rather than quality. Pre-course assessments for students are not common, resulting in a lack of sincere students. The coding courses lack structure and fail to adequately prepare students for the practical challenges of the real world, contributing to the scarcity of junior developer job opportunities. Hiring practices mirror those of other bootcamps, favoring students with less experience. Compensation often doesn't reflect the significant difference in experience between individuals, highlighting an issue that people are hired just to achieve the status quo. If you want to know more look at the official OFSTED reports.

On behalf of Code Nation, I would like to thank you for taking time to leave a review, we take all feedback as it's intended; to support our continuous improvement. I appreciate your review may be from some time ago as we haven’t had the role of Innovation Developer for some time, and the reference to our Ofsted rating seems out of date given our recent 'Good' provider rating in October last year. We do take every review seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your comments. If you can please contact HR@wearecodenation in confidence, at your earliest convenience, we can begin to address your comments. Thank you once again for your feedback.
