We're not trying to replicate or replace a traditional four-year CS program. Over 500+ hours, working full-time, in pairs, and with constant access to instructors, students have rapidly built skill and experience with programming. Ultimately, that's what I think employers are looking for in junior devs.
We have also spent considerable time reviewing traditional CS topics like algorithms and data structures.
We're a couple weeks away from hiring day, but companies including Apple, airbnb, Lytro and Twilio have signed up. These companies are making the investment to send senior engineers to hiring day; they don't do this lightly.
It's awesome that you are able to get attentions from those top-level companies like those. I did take a look at the curriculum and you do in fact have some data structure/algorithm classes.
It would you be nice if you can provide us with candidates' interview experiences and outcome -- just to provide a roadmap for future candidates
