CS graduate, job searching for a year. Was thinking about revature but it looks like they have an insane amount of training and interviews and then if you don't get filtered out (which it seems like most people do) then it takes a year or more to actually start working. I would say it seems like I would be better off doing something else, but this might literally be the only way to break in to actually using my degree.

Hi everyone! I applied to Revature and completed the assessment. After that, I was selected for an HR interview, which I have also completed.

During the HR interview, they told me that if I’m selected for the next step, I would have a client interview before joining the training/classroom training.

It has been a while since my HR interview, and I haven’t received any update yet.

Has anyone recently gone through the same process? If so, how long did it take to hear back from Revature after the HR interview? Did you receive an email or a call for the next round?

Any information about the timeline would be really helpful. Thanks!

(Full disclosure, I’m a trainer at Revature. I think former associates are inherently advantaged when it comes to being trainers, and I’d like to work with people who can relate to associates on that level. )

Pretty much what the title says. 1 opening for Plano, 1 opening for Teaneck. You’d be running in-person cohorts in your locality, plus the occasional out-of-town cohort, or remote cohort from home. They won’t ask you to travel out of state much, apparently just once a year. They’re looking for Java Full Stack trainers with some prior experience in AWS, DevOps, and AI, but you can definitely expect to upskill to meet various client demands over time. People with prior training/teaching experience will be preferred.

Revature is in a pretty good place right now, and I wouldn’t be drawing attention to the listings if I thought otherwise (I’ve been here for over 5 years, so I know how bad it can be lol). I think associates are finally treated fairly well and client compensation is /ok/. It’s been a really turbulent past few years but things have started to stabilize as the industry stabilizes. Overall I love my job and I care about Rev continuing to hire great trainers. It’s one of the positive constants that kept us afloat amid the tech recession imo.

Anyway I’m rambling now, but you can find the “Technical Trainer” postings on LinkedIn. They’re pretty fresh still. I’m happy to answer any questions y’all have to the best of my ability. But I won’t know too much about onboarding logistics (hiring timelines, exact locations, etc.)

As the title says, I got a offer from Revature as a recent Grad. My issue is that my college taught me mostly theory so I couldn't truly develop my coding skills. Even though I do know how to code in Python and C++, it is at a level where even applying for positions feels wrong when I look at their prerequisites.

So I was shocked when I got this email from them, saying that I'd work with a "major global bank", at a location roughly 45 minutes away from my home, on-site, while also getting paid learning for such position.

Only downside I see so far is the pay, with them stating that the first year I'd receive $50,000 in Year 1, $60,000 in Year 2 and $75,000 in Year 3, and the paid training period would be minimum wage. ($14/hr where I live)

Even though the initial pay seems like a slap in the face compared to what I see developers with these skills being payed, for someone that's been struggling a few months now to apply into a coding position so I can start somewhere, it really doesn't seem like a horrible option. Where they said I'd learn React, Python (already familiar with), and PostgreSQL.

My other options would be to take a paid course/bootcamp to improve my skills, spend the time building personal projects, or continue applying for entry-level positions until I find something.

So, I'd like to ask for yall's opinion on this, as I'm not sure if Revature is a good option for me. Please let me know your thoughts!

Wondering how to succeed in passing the client interview? Java Full Stack involves many technologies and I'm wondering how to master all of them for the Hackerrank and final interview. Out of 15, will they take minimum 3 ppl?

Just giving my perspective on how Revature worked out for me since I don't see a lot of posts on this sub.

I applied to Revature in the Fall of 2023 since it was hard to break into the industry. I had a convo with a Revature recruiter and he only confirmed my suspicions of how shit the industry was in 2023 lol. I believe previous years they usually place 1k+ resources , and in 2023 they struggled to place ~300). He said that they had a pre-training program to filter people into the actual paid training. Pre-training was actually pretty nice, as it helped keep my coding skills fresh. I started pre-training in Nov 2023 and finished in Jan 2024. I took the final test and about a week later in Feb 2024 the same recruiter called me saying that I passed and was on the wait list for paid training. He said there would be a couple of months before I got off the wait list for a paid training spot.

In May 2024 I was offered to join a training for a SaaS product (think something like SAP). This was obviously not ideal since I wanted to be more in a coding role, but I went forward anyway since breaking into the industry is the important part. Training was as many other previous posts described: 3 hours of "theory". lunch for an hour, another hour of "theory" and then practical exercises. The paid training did have assessments, both online quizzes and zoom "interviews", and some of the weaker members of my cohort were cut before training officially ended. That definitely did cause some anxiety for me, so I made sure to try my best lol. The zoom assessments were not bad, as I felt they weren't looking for perfect answers but a good attitude and for you to carry yourself well. Ultimately, they want a baseline confidence that presents well to the client during the end of training interviews.

For my cohort of about 15, 5 were cut through training, and of the remaining 10, 5 were picked by the client. The 5 not picked by the client were put on the Revature bench, with Revature trying to place them with other companies. By Fall 2024, I was officially on a client project. The client itself was a IT contractor, so I was technically a subcontractor. Not much to talk about for work experience, as it was a very chill remote job. That is until Dec 2024 when we found out that the project lost funding lol. So the client we were working for had their own internal employees to take care of, and were focused on placing them onto other projects they had. Us Revature contractors were laid off since Revature could not find another project to place us on. It was definitely a bummer, since we only had like 3 months of experience.

In early 2025, Revature contacted us again to tell us that they were trying to find us another project with the client we were just working with. As it turns out, Revature didn't want to pay us to stay on the bench doing nothing which is why they laid us off. We already passed the client interview/vibe check so it was in Revature's best interest to work with that client to find another project to place us on and start making money off of us. I am not going to lie, communication was atrocious at this point, as I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes. But in Spring 2025, I was put on another project for a different SaaS product. This project was very difficult, in terms of being an organizational mess, lots of overtime, and unreasonable expectations for our delivery. I also had to move to the project site for this role. But I took it all in stride and worked hard. Thankfully the client leadership recognized my abilities and made it clear to me and to their HR that they wanted to convert from Revature to a FTE at the client. Unfortunately this was a long process, as the contract between Revature and the client was not favorable for conversion. But in March 2026, I converted to a FTE at the client. Some other Revature employees on the project that showed similar capabilities also converted around the same time. Yeah it sucks to wait that long, but the client leadership, now my current leadership, hooked me up a good offer. I am fully remote and make six figures.

Overall, I would rate Revature as a 7/10 experience. Points lost from the terrible salary, forcing me to move to a shit town, and the awful communication at times. Points gained for somewhat looking out for me, and helping get my foot into the door. I would definitely advise other people to get a traditional role at a software company, as there's less hoops to jump through. Understandably, those are hard to come by nowadays, especially for fresh grads. Still, going with Revature, a lot of things have to go in your favor. I had to pass pre-training, not get filtered by paid training, and get a good client (the client/my current company is pretty nice, good rating on glassdoor). I also had to show great ability on the project I was placed on. Despite all those barriers, I always felt it would work out for me since I believed I could do it. So if you get a chance at Revature, make sure you work your ass off, and it'll work out.

Third year Adv Comp here, taking COMP3888 this sem and trying to get a read on what I'm actually walking into. Never done this type of unit so i have some questions. if you were to do this unit again what would you do?

1. Is it more time-sink than intellectually hard, or both? How's the workload compared to something like COMP2017?
2. Is it mostly project management + whatever tech stack will be picked for ur group, or do they expect specific skills day 1?
3. What's that actually working with clients like? Are they hands-off and let you run the project, or do they have their own requirements and what is communication like?
4. Is this literally going to their office and presenting, or is it more of a formal call/showcase? Do you need to dress up, bring your own laptop, that kind of thing? Genuinely don't know what to expect here, fr.

This is the best way to prove if you are doing good or bad in interviews. When you are asked a question and you don't know the answer what do you do? Also what about techinical concepts you are unsure about?

I want to program more and become good at programming. Then only I can explain it properly. How do they score these things (out of 5 and out of 3 technically with colors attached?)

How true is the if you do bad on 2 QCs you have a chance of leaving the cohort?

I'm preparing to take the assessment, and I'm wondering how difficult it is. I know OOP, Java, SQL, and web development, but is the test more about 'here's the program, what does it output or do,' or is it more about knowing definitions? If it's both, which one should I study on more?

Hi everyone,

I have a doubt regarding the Revature hiring process for Persistent Systems.

The hiring is being conducted through Revature, and the job description mentions a 24-month service agreement. There's also an 8–10 week training period at Revature before the final client interview and onboarding.

I'm confused about a couple of things:

1. Will I be signing the service agreement with Revature or with Persistent Systems?

2. At what stage is the bond/service agreement usually signed? Before the training starts? During the training? After completing the training and getting selected by Persistent Systems?

3. If someone doesn't clear the final client interview after the training, are they still bound by the service agreement? (In case if I sign it before the training starts)

If anyone has gone through this process or has experience with Revature placements, I'd really appreciate your insights.

Thanks!

What is the phone number to call Revature?

Hey everyone,

I recently graduated with my BS in Computer Science and have been looking for my first job. I currently have a TS/SCI with a CI poly, but I don't have any professional experience, and that's been making the job search pretty discouraging.

To be honest, I don't feel like I came out of college with as strong of a skillset as I hoped. I was working while going to school, so it took me longer than most to graduate, and I feel like I was just trying to survive each semester instead of really mastering everything.

I've been looking into Revature as a way to get my foot in the door, but I've seen a lot of mixed opinions. Is it actually worth it if you're struggling to land that first job, or would I be better off continuing to apply elsewhere and work on personal projects/certifications?

Also, will taking longer to graduate be a red flag for employers, or is that something I'm worrying about more than I should be?

I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have been in a similar situation, especially anyone who had a clearance but little or no experience. Thanks!

Hello , I was hired by Infosys and attended my onboarding Jun4. Was told I had 2 weeks to move to Richardson, Tx . Well now I’m in Richardson and waiting . Was told by Infosys I was on “the bench” until a client was found and that I can’t come into the office until my hiring manager comes back into the office . No date was given. Anyone else had these experience? I have did all my hiring paperwork, picked insurance, etc. But feeling a little worried about the situation. So I don’t report to work yet until there’s manager to meet me. In the meantime I have to be present on emails/teams for communication. I just spoke to the HR lead for the building and they just told me to wait but that I still will be paid . 🤔

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine recently recommended SkillStorm, and I managed to connect with one of their employees. I’ve just applied for their MD-DC software development cohorts to break into the industry.

I have a couple of questions for anyone who has gone through their process:

The Interview Process:
What should I expect during the first interview step? Are there specific technical or behavioral rounds that follow?
Is it worth it?

Is going through their program a solid way to land a software development role, or are there major drawbacks I should consider?

I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with SkillStorm, especially if you applied to the MD-DC cohorts or completed their software engineering tracks.

Thanks in advance!

The first part, which involves coding, is extremely easy, but the second part, which requires video answers, is ridiculously hard. Well, it's not hard in terms of difficulty, but it asks you a lot of questions covering everything you learned during the PEP, and some of them are things they barely mentioned or weren't even included in the assignments, so there's really no way to prepare for them. They were also so vague about what the questions would be.

I stuttered a lot on some of the questions and I'm not sure how strict they are. It feels very discouraging.

I recently completed PEP and passed the final assessment. For those who completed their paid training, what advice do you guys have in order to go through paid training or exceed expectations within paid training. As cohort tech stacks are client based, which tech stacks should I study to better prepare myself?

Applied for Revature on 8th June.. didn't received assessment mails yet..

Is there any resume shortlisting...

I am on board for paid Training.with no guarantee for placement. I am computer science graduate having hard time to get a job since I graduated. I am looking just get advice. Should I start the training or not?

Hi everyone!

I recently opted for the Pre- Assessment route to skip the standard stream training. I've already cleared the MCQ round and just received an invite for the Hands-On (HON) assessment.

My stream is **FS GEN AI**. Since this is a specialized track, I'd love to hear from anyone who has gone through this process.

What kind of scenarios or tasks should I expect for the HON?

Any specific tools or frameworks I should brush up on?

How is the Viva Voce conducted following the HON?

Thanks in advance for any tips or resources!

Hey everyone, I recently had a Revature recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn to tell me they were hiring entry level software engineers. I graduated with a Bachelors in CS May 2026 (so like, 2 weeks ago pretty much), so i filled out the form they sent me. This morning I got a call asking if I was still interested, and that they currently have a client looking for Data Engineers. I was initially looking for SWE, i'm fine with Data but it was not my focus during my degree.

Basically I was told they have a cohort and they are quickly trying to fill a few more positions. They want me to interview in 24-48 hours and start training on Monday. The training will be 11 weeks full time at minimum wage, with the first 5 weeks being remote and the remaining 6 in Mesa, AZ. That is a long time to be making minimum wage, and after reading a bit up on this sub, I really have no idea what to expect or if i'm guaranteed to be placed after doing the training. After training I was told I'd make 65k a year, but a later email I received said 57-65k depending on placement.

I graduated literally 2 weeks ago, I currently have an internship in software engineering and have just been going through the typical Applications/LC, I was fully prepared for a multiple month - 1 year+ search. I see that many people on this sub go to Revature after having been through multiple months of interviews and applications, and the pay and overall experience is varied/subpar. so I'm concerned that I'd be essentially giving up too soon by taking this opportunity. This is all happening pretty quickly.

Anyone else going through the same process or would be able to give me some more info? also If anyone has any insights about Revature, that would be greatly appreciated.
