It has been over a year since I was unfortunate enough to be conned into taking the first UXUI course Wyncode (April 20th, 2018) ever offered and I am here to say DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! My experience with Wynocde was a disorganized mess from the start to finish. As a cohort we were enrolled and onboarded into a program that wasn't even finished. The homework platform they provided was a joke (particularly for an institution that prides itself on training software developers). From day one we were left to fend for ourselves as there was absolutely zero support from the teachers assistant and instructor that had zero teaching experience up until then.
When we finished the program which was advertised as "educate-to-hire" we were provided with very little support or jobs leads whatsoever. Their Outcomes Manager left briefly after our cohort finished (employee turnover/ employee retention is within the organization is totally alarming).
The worst part about the entire experience wasn't even the total waste of money or lack structure/organization but the way you'll be confronted, intimidated and treated by the owners if you dare to say anything critical or anything that doesn't portray this place in the best possible light. Wyncode staff claims to be a family but the only "family" they resemble is the mafia.
