Pros

When I started the people were really mission driven. It is small so you have the chance to do a lot and make a big impact.

Cons

When HB was acquired, everything started going downhill. Capella wanted to make money off of it and started scaling too fast. They ruined the relationships HB had worked had to create with partner companies and alum. They fired so many leaders on the team who were around before the acquisition and then replaced them with incompetent people from outside the tech industry. Also they have zero perks, you will get a paycheck and health but that's it.

Pros

As a student I excelled and enjoyed every minute of my bootcamp, the instructors were awesome and the cohorts are managed extremely well.

Cons

A LOT of information covered and ends up being much more than 40 hours a week in work and review.
