Had a great experience in the part time 10 week product management course. The instructor was very helpful, knowledgeable and very passionate about product with years and years of experience.
Everyone at GA was really helpful, it's a great environment to learn in!
A great course for someone with a solid background in statistics and calculus, otherwise you're going to suffer.
After takeing two courses through General Assembly I would highly recomend PASSING onto another university! They are very quick to get you enrolled and will contact you within the same day HOWEVER, they will not refund you your money after you withdrawl during the course.

After takeing two courses through General Assembly I would highly recomend PASSING onto another university! They are very quick to get you enrolled and will contact you within the same day HOWEVER, they will not refund you your money after you withdrawl during the course. Bootcamps are marketed as a "One and Done" type of course ensuring you will leave with a portfolio presentable for the career of your choosing. What they do NOT INFORM you of, is that you will NOT BE READY to enter the career field of your choosing after ONE bootcamp. Once heavily through the course "professors" will change their language from, "This is what you will need and have ready for your portfolio." To "This is just one small component that you can use TOWARDS your portfolio." Save your money and choose another Bootcamp!
I took the Data Science Immersive Program in Boston and I'm very happy with the experience. I made the career switch after being in my previous career for more than 10 years and was also 5-8 months pregnant while taking the program.
My greatest advice to others taking the program: manage your time well the whole time and work hard. It's a short 3 months compared to going back to graduate school/college, so grit your teeth and just push through. The program was
I took the Data Science Immersive Program in Boston and I'm very happy with the experience. I made the career switch after being in my previous career for more than 10 years and was also 5-8 months pregnant while taking the program.
My greatest advice to others taking the program: manage your time well the whole time and work hard. It's a short 3 months compared to going back to graduate school/college, so grit your teeth and just push through. The program was well worth it as the curriculum covers a wide breadth of topics that expose you to much of the Data Science field. Time management and focus should also be given your Outcomes work (job search portion of program) during and after the program. The Outcomes team allows you to be accountable in your job search in addition to providing support (from network connections to advice on cover letters and resume).
The whole program is project-based. You have two lectures a day and the rest of the day is time for you to work on projects (you'll definitely need all of the time given on top of nights and weekends). Through the project-based approach, you're able to truly test concepts and gain a better understanding of all topics taught in class.
Since you spend so much time in class for 3 months, you get to know your fellow students extremely well. Learn (if you're not already great at it) to work in a team towards deadlines, as team projects teach you how Data Scientists really work together.
In summary, worth the time and hard work. I'd recommend (and already have so far) to others.
