Pros

~ $600 per week while training; then a 2-year 110K (completely unenforceable, to the best of my knowledge) contract. Nothing learned was NOT available for free on the internet. Plus, deceptive management. Do NOT recommend.

Cons

Everything except the cool instructors; other than that, nothing positive to speak of.

Pros

If you're someone who is making a career transition or who's a software developer fresh out of college, Genesis10 offers a starting role that's too good to pass up. I was honestly skeptical of their offer at first (mainly because of how few reviews there were on the company), but after working 5 months with them, I could not be happier with my decision to work with them. You'll undergo training for 14 weeks, which involves some pretty intense lessons and exceptionally engaging projects. In my experience, everybody else in the cohort I was a part of was diligent and competent, making every project and group activity a blast to be a part. The client I'm working with has been amazing thus far. I have to say, even though you have to sign up for a 2-year contract, the experience you gain is worth its merit. Whether you find yourself signing with your client or you have to find work after your contract expires, you'll have more than enough experience to continue your career in software development. Even after training, you can continue learning more via courses on Udemy, making the 2 years you have under contract a golden opportunity to work on personal projects (i.e. creating your own dashboards/apps/APIs). Entry level software developer positions for Genesis10 chalks up to be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Cons

If you're a software developer that has the skills/experience to be a system administrator, IT specialist, or any other role that tackles senior-level responsibilities, this job is not for you. You'd still make a decent wage, but you'd be wasting your time with the potential earnings you could be making with your level of expertise. For those looking for an entry level position as a data analyst, engineer or an app/web developer, having some experience programming whatsoever (i.e. a year or two of experience with Matlab, R, Scala, Java, Python, SQL, etc.) is desirable and makes the training a much more enjoyable experience. The roles Genesis10 offers for entry level developers expects some prior knowledge of programming. So if you're brand new to the software development space, but are determined to develop a career as a programmer, I highly recommend trying out courses on Udemy, Codecademy, or Free Code Camp to learn more about languages you're interested in. Java, SQL and Python seem to be the most sought after languages at the moment, so those would be good languages to start learning. The training pay is tough to live on initially, but they're paying you instead of you paying them (for a pretty thorough training program), so its honestly a pretty fair deal. Remember, if you see anyone asking you to pay them for training prior to starting your position, that's likely a scam. Anyways, hope this was helpful for any future programmers out there looking to bring the global tech space up-to-date :).

Pros

No Pros at all at this company.

Cons

Please don't apply to this company as a software engineering entry level apprentice (Dev 10) as they operate in a very shady way!!! If you are contacted by the lead recruiter, just know that they will require you to do a ton of work, and never call you back or update you on your status within the enrollment process. And when you finally speak with someone they will lie and say they'll be back in contact with you and that you've passed all of the steps and are being considered...and of course you won't hear back from them. Finally, when you track them down for the last time, they'll tell you they don't have a spot for you. Please don't do all the work required just to be ghosted and then told there's not a spot for you!!
