One frustrated student sent an email to their cohort and Holberton staff, in which they described the career sprint requirements as "a violation of my human rights", and "cruel and unusual punishment" that creates "tedious and unnecessary paperwork".

This student talked about how there's no benefit to doing the Career Sprint besides not getting kicked out. They complained about how instead of actually teaching Holberton students, the staff choose to treat them like children and mentally torture them.

They ended the email by saying that while they are thankful for what they learned at Holberton School, "if you insist on enforcing this "Career Sprint" bullshit, then you can shove it up your ass and consider this my withdrawal."

In June 2018, Holberton School had a talent fair. 40 employers were supposed to show up. An anon has provided me with a screenshot of an email from Sylvain Kalache (co-founder), stating that there will be 40 employers. Only a few employers were present at the talent fair.

Anon 2: "Only 2 or 3 potential employers showed up, one of them being another bootcamp Taos"

As Anon 4 says, "most people stopped after year one and prepped for jobs on our own." Talking about "100% of grads" ignores the many people who don't even finish the program.

Holberton School has an interview prep program. It consists of "interview questions that are meant to be kept confidential." According to Anon 5, the students contributing to this repository of interview questions are probably violating NDAs.
