Cindy Bonnin Review of SciencesCom
Overall disappointing school. Some positive points...
Overall disappointing school. Some positive points are obviously to be noted: intervention of recognized specialists on certain courses, new infrastructures, a nice piano with pleasant notes ...
On the other hand, classrooms lack electrical outlets.
There is a world between initials and work-study students and this undoubtedly goes through the "integration week" which does not create any link if you do not know anyone or were not present in the school the previous year.
SciencesCom offers a work-study program but is not sufficiently armed for this. In the event of a bad experience with the company, do not count on real support from the teaching team. On the contrary, they will put their foot in the dish at the risk of further deteriorating your relations with the employer. In addition, some people have missed opportunities to change companies because the school was not reactive enough, and this in several promotions.
The management of work-study students is sometimes questionable and does not take professional requirements into account. We quickly feel that initial students remain the school's priority. The team is completely out of touch with reality, nothing is working out and they are the only ones who do not notice it.
Sometimes you have to look for information from three people to try to understand what time to start and what. Not very professional They try to be funny and to bring lightness, which would be quite nice if they did their first job: doing their job. You are sold some passages in front of a jury to finally pass your oral examinations in front of the pedagogical managers who are by the way much more fond of students in agencies, probably more connected to the "Audencia image".
You will chain empty alternation reports with the feeling of having to do in order to do. No constructivity since the time between each production is only a few months, so you have to multiply the hours to tirelessly tell the same thing. Yes, business life is fast paced. No, you don't literally change your activity in 2 months.
The courses are very top-down and for the most part similar to what can be found in Bac + 2 and +3 in other schools, few of them provide real added value. The first excuse is to upgrade students from other courses and that gets along perfectly. But two and a half years of upgrading seems like a long time to me. Oh by the way, your class will go from around 30 people to around 45 by the second year as they incorporate initials along the way.
When we talk to professionals about the subjects approached and their content, we realize that nothing has really changed for several years. For example, no real training on social networks. At least nothing that doesn't add much to a generation that grew up with it.
Exam results usually take a long time to arrive. This can sometimes be complicated to assimilate on the part of an establishment which wants to be so tight on deadlines.
I probably forget some, and I want to be negative on purpose because I think that this type of point of view is not relayed enough despite the number of people thinking it.
Don't make the same mistake as me, don't let the reputation of this school influence you + their speeches on the advantages of being able to slip the SciencesCom line onto the CV and access to the Audencia network. Good recruiters look more at your experiences than your studies, and that's good. The other schools have little to envy, other than a more polished brand image.
In short, to the reckless who venture there: Happy return and may fate be in your favor.
