Is it worth enrolling to Pesto Tech

Frontend Engineer

Hey everyone! I'm curious if anyone has any insights or experiences with Pesto Tech. I'm considering their program, but I'd love to hear from alumni, current students, or anyone who has general knowledge about it. I want to get a realistic understanding because the program is quite expensive.

Analyst

The camp in my opinion is not what it claims to be. People who are doing well in the camp are the ones who took matters in their own hand and started learning on their own.

Pros:

1. Practice sets were given often(There were 27 practice sets of all topics) which helped us form the practice for writing code for hooks without wasting time in thinking about the approach.

2. Community is good. MA’s are very helpful and will guide you in every situation. Taking the time out of their busy schedule. Very thankful to them.

3. Machine coding rounds were conducted. Which helped us speed up the process. 

4. Revision sessions were conducted for people who couldn’t understand the lecture taken by Tanay. These sessions were taken by Akanksha.

Cons:

1. Redux was removed from course even though it is mentioned on the website. They say that redux is not important but it is, companies ideally want their candidates to know redux.

2. Tanay simply skims through a topic, does not go in depth inside any topic. An advice which he ironically gives in his youtube videos. He ignores any advanced questions asked in the session claiming he has not covered yet. Says he will teach later and does not cover that topic later.

3. We were forbidden to discuss anything that isn’t taught yet.Stopping the flow of knowledge. That means you can’t even use the community to discuss something new because they haven’t taught it yet.

4. MA’s(Ex-neoGrads) were discouraged from answering questions about topics that weren’t taught yet. They used to host sessions on hard topics that people didn’t understand in voice chats but were discouraged to do so.

5. Didn’t even cover the dependency array in useEffect hook. He just said you will keep it empty 90% of the time. useMemo and useCallback were not even mentioned. Forget about code optimizations. Honestly, you will learn more in a 30min youtube video than in their class.

Reality of neoG bootcamp

I joined Neog hoping to learn Advanced Full stack but LOL this whole bootcamp is a scam. They are only focussed on earning money. A simple 500rs Udemy course will teach you more than this Channa mereya drama. There has been 0 percent addition in my knowledge after joining NEOG because I already know basics I wanted to learn Advanced things. 
  
 1) No Lectures on memo and callback 
 2) No Redux 
 3) DSA lol (mentioned on the website) 
 4) Backend LMAO ( mentioned on the websit) 
 5) Industry Standard Coding - why is it even mentioned on the website. 
  
  
 I have no problem with Neog Do whatever you want. But please don't lie about your course. Just Mention it on your website that you will only teach basics. I regret that hard-earned money of my parents is wasted.

Edtech layoffs still continuing?

Teams were asked to strictly work from home for today because of plumbing work going on in the office. Roughly 300 people were laid off in a townhall hosted by the founders.

Scaler lays off 20-25% of their workforce

How will they tell people that their courses will help get a job in a product company now?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Was interviewing at one of the acquisitions of a major edtech player for a design role in Bangalore roughly 2 years ago.

🚩 Didn't share agreement on email unless I came to office for a day's worth of work (after completing interview assignment).

🚩 Exit clause in agreement mentioned company can terminate contract any time with a few days notice, no provision for me ending contract (never in my life did I see such a one-sided contract).

🚩 Was asked to reuse free resources available online to repurpose content for them (why fucking raise funds if that's all you want to do).

🚩 Overheard - "Who cares about quality, just bring in teachers who are influencers that can bring more students behind them". Boiled my blood.

🚩 Was tweeting all of this in a discussion about edtech on some thread without naming the company. Got asked to chat with founder's office guy while I was leaving at the end of day. They either stalked my socials or somehow came across my tweets and wanted me to bring my concerns to seniors instead of sharing them publicly. Excuses that were given - "We are a growing company, not everyone here is on our payroll, there's a mismatch in our teams internally, will take time to fix" etc etc.

"You seem very passionate about education, you know how bad it is in India and we're trying our best to make a dent". Balls making a dent. I was even more furious by the time he was done talking.

Politely asked me to delete the tweets (which I later did because I believe in second chances and not burning bridges).

Did not sign agreement or return to work. Came to know later of more toxic stories coming out of edtech companies.

Avoid edtech in India like the plague if you're still considering applying anywhere, this shit is not worth any amount of money. They are literally destroying our future and care more about their investors and VCs rather than their students or even the larger startup ecosystem.

I hope these shitshows shut down soon.

Is scaler (edtech institute) good option for up skill?

I was thinking to join data science course in scalar program. Quite expensive program hence please help me to say whether course is worth for beginners wrt  course ,teaching and projects in the curriculum. Also whether they have a job placement after course completion and whether actually we get jobs . I am already 9 years experienced but from database and devops background not data engineering. If anything better course then scalar along with placement ,that also can be advised.Thanks in advance

I'm tired of people calling everything in edtech a scam, of course the companies don't help themselves by their bs marketing and unattainable placement claims and other bullshit

But I'm genuinely curious as to what grapers/ grapies / viners find to be not a scam in edtech ?

If everything in edtech is a scam, what is not ?

Welcome to Company Reviews's Private Community

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an SAP MM-based project. Despite talking with everyone who could assist me in securing a development role, I've been told that, as an ASE, I can't switch to development. I'm worried about my career because I've always wanted to move to the development side, but I've been given a functional role instead.

I'm considering enrolling in the Scaler Academy Software Development Course to transition to a development career. The course costs nearly 3.15 lakh. I would appreciate your thoughts on whether I should purchase the course.
Additionally, I would like to know the recent placement data for Scaler, as they are only promoting the placement data for the 2020-2021 batch, which was audited by KPMG. They haven't mentioned the recent placement statistics.

Please provide me with your valuable suggestions.

Should I join the Scaler Academy ?

Is it worth joining the scaler academy for a devops ? Since they are asking for 3.15laks, it's a one year course.

Cloud Engineer

Hello,

After six years in IT Support, I've come to a realization: my current job lacks the learning and growth opportunities I crave. Each day feels like a repetition of customer support tasks, and I'm eager for a change. I've decided to make the leap into Software Development.

To equip myself with the necessary skills, I'm considering enrolling in an online learning platform like CRIO.DO, Scaler, or Bosscoder Academy. However, the fees for these courses are substantial, each exceeding 1 lakh. Before I commit, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences:

Which platform would you recommend for someone transitioning from IT Support to Software Development?
Have you or anyone you know successfully transitioned careers through these platforms?
Do you believe enrolling in these courses will truly help in securing a Software Development role?
I appreciate any insights or advice you can offer as I embark on this journey of career transformation.

Thank you! 🚀🔧

Most edtechs have been infamous for mis-selling, poor teaching , etc but are there any good startups who are doing great work?

Any good Edtechs worth joining?
