Pros

The program was run by One Ten and Multiverse. I enjoyed the bootcamp and felt like I learned a lot.

Cons

I do not think they had any intentions of hiring the apprentices full-time. It was a cohort of about 25 apprentices, and only some of the Cisco Meraki apprentices were hired full-time.

They put me and two other apprentices on a team with one Cisco worker, and the other three were HCL contractors. From the beginning, they told us that they did not have the budget to hire anyone.

It kind of felt like they used us.
