I needed to get help getting a job in the tech industry because I felt I was very unfamiliar with the whole process. They helped me out in every aspect. Overall I would recommend this program to anyone who needs a support system to tackle the challenge of preparing for and obtaining solid offers and feels unsure and unconfident in doing about it.

Wow, where do I even begin!? CodeBreakers is an excellent platform for programmers ranging from beginners to more advanced skill-sets with desires of becoming a Software Engineer. They provide 1-1 mentorship, on-demand remote access to coaches, free educational resources and an enhanced curriculum that are all catered to helping students land their dream as Software Engineers. I joined CodeBreakers during the late latter half of my undergraduate studies when I realized that computer science and programming was my calling. My coaches/mentors were very patient with me and they instilled in me the confidence and the computer science fundamentals that I needed in order to excel with my programming skills and finally land a job as a software engineer at IBM. Coach Darek highlights the epitome of being a supportive and dedicated leader in regards to providing the right environment and resources needed for his students to succeed. Coach Darek's attributes trickle down to the other mentors and this promotes a safe space for all aspiring software engineers coming from various backgrounds. In terms of finances, I paid zero costs upfront until I landed my first job and my payments were reasonable and well worth the skills that I gained from CodeBreakers. Finally, as a former student, your end results are only as good as the input work that you commit. If you are serious about becoming a Software Engineer, I highly recommend giving CodeBreakers a shot, who knows, your next dream job could be right on the horizon."

I worked with CodeBreakers in order to land my first job out of university. I was able to land a few mediocre-paying jobs on my own (60K-75K range), so I thought it would be worth a shot to see if CodeBreakers can help me land something better.

I was contacted by CodeBreakers via LinkedIn during my last year at university. I was confident in my coding skills, but I was unsure if I had the ability to land a high-paying job at a Big N right out of college. CodeBreakers taught me better ways of approaching interview-type problems, so that I would have less difficulties during interviews. It took me around 5 months of practice, but with the mentorship and guidance that I received from CodeBreakers, I was able to land an offer from a Big N company.

I didn't think I'd be capable of doing such a thing, but I was finally able to do it with their help. The mentors at CodeBreakers are well-versed in the interview processes at these types of companies, so they are able to give you a great 1-on-1 mentorship experience. I'd definitely recommend that you try it out if you were in a situation like mine.

I landed a top-tier job that doubled my salary! Coaches go above and beyond offering 1:1 help to make sure I'm supported every step of the way, and transition smoothly from finance to tech.

Coach Darek helped me a lot from the first day I got the OA. He coached me throughout the entire process, and did mock interview sessions to help prepare for the final interview. Couldn't have done it without codebreakers.

It was great and they prepared me well with a lot of information which in fact made the interview process very fast too. I was able to get a Amazon offer within two weeks! I would recommend if you are struggling at interviews or just need more practice! Practice makes perfect.

Strongly recommend IMC for any aspiring SWE seeking FAANG jobs

I had an incredible experience with Codebreakers, from my initial conversation with Coach Darek until I landed a lucrative job as a software engineer at a unicorn company. Sure, the internet is rife with resources that can get you well acquainted with data structures and algorithms, but they don’t quite simulate an actual interview experience. Additionally, these platforms lack that all-essential ‘mentor-element’ that is crucial to landing a job in the big leagues, aka FAANG. Codebreakers did an outstanding job with helping me navigate the turbulent waters of the tech-industry by equipping me with the right tools, guidance, and knowledge from the very outset. Lastly, this review wouldn’t be a proper review if I didn’t talk about their network of software engineering mentors, who, by the way, are all superstars in their own right. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and confident enough to nail FAANG-style interviews. I had an incredible experience with them, and I’m pretty sure you will too.

CodeBreakers is a life changer. I joined CodeBreakers after having only taken one CS course. My skills in Data Structures and Algorithms were mediocre at best, and I did not have much hope of landing a competitive offer in the tech industry. However, the 1-on-1 mentorship, training, support and guidance I received from CodeBreakers as well as multiple opportunities to mock interview really helped hone my coding and interviewing skills, develop my confidence and improve my intuition and understanding of fundamental CS concepts. Coach Darek and his team are very intentional on building you up professionally as well as personally, and they truly care about your development as a coder in addition to helping you land your dream job. As long as you are willing to put in deliberate effort into actualizing your dream, I would wholeheartedly recommend CodeBreakers to you.

Working with codeBreakers fundamentally changed the way I perceived the entire interview and technical interview process. Coming from a non-traditional computer science background I held the belief that I may never do well at algorithms and data structures style questions. Working with code breakers showed me that algorithmic thinking is a skill. One that can be honed and mastered. I am very happy to say that I've just recently accepted a position as a front-end engineer. I couldn't have done it without the CB team.

Very professional and kind people. Right from coding preparation to mock interviews, the Codebreaker community will be of great help to you during these difficult times!

Darek and the coaches were clearly knowledgable in all aspects of the industry and highly supportive throughout the entire job search process. Through countless 1-on-1 coaching sessions with detailed feedback, data structures/algorithms refresher courses, and a vast network of connections, I was able to secure a job in the field. Strongly recommend for both first-time coders and those with prior CS education who need brushing up on the basics.

After working with Coach Darek and CodeBreakers for just 2 months I landed my dream job. This program offers an incredible return on investment. The self-guided preparatory material is great. It was comprehensive yet manageable, and in a couple of weeks I had all of the tools I needed to begin applying to jobs. CodeBreakers has a big network of people that can provide referrals, which really accelerates the job hunt. However, the real value of CodeBreakers is the 1 on 1 coaching. After securing an interview, the amount of individual support I received from Coach Darek to make sure that I was 100% prepared was mind blowing. I strongly recommend this program to anyone looking to land a job in tech.

I took my algorithms and data structures course a few years before I joined, and Codebreakers helped me refresh my (albeit rusty) knowledge and apply it to coding interviews for a variety of companies. Everyone I met and asked for help from were very helpful and patient, and gave substantial support to establish the knowledge necessary to succeed in my interviews. Definitely would recommend.

Prior to signing up to CodeBreakers my coding skills were below average, I would of never been able to get an offer from Amazon without the help of Coach Darek and all of the other amazing coaches.

Everyone makes sure that you are as prepared as possible for you coding interviews and are always available for any questions that you might have. This is a tough journey that you should not do alone. Job searching and preparing for coding interviews is a very difficult thing to do. But with the help of Darek, you will have no problem finding the full time job that you deserve.

The coaches put a lot of effort in helping students to succeed in interviews. They provided and designed many resources and tools for students to have a profound understanding in data structures and algorithms. They also help with mock interviews and offer negotiation which are also very important. Job searching process is very stressful and sometimes people lose their direction in the mid of the season. With Codebreaker's help, everything is so much better and easier.

Having strong CS fundamental skills is one thing but clearing coding interviews is another. I joined CodeBreakers as a recent graduate with no prior work experience, not even an internship. It’s very easy to get lost in all the interview preparation material out there but with CodeBreakers, you get a well-designed material with a 1-1 mentor who makes sure that you’re on track with the preparation, unlimited mock interviews, people who are always looking out for job opportunities for you so that you can focus totally on your preparation. Be it data structures and algorithms or system design or behavioral interviews CodeBreakers covers all the aspects of coding interviews. Mentors make sure that you’re on top of your game when the opportunity strikes. It was for CodeBreakers that I received an offer from PayPal. It was for all the coaches and mentors at CodeBreakers that I was able to achieve this.

I really appreciate their efforts, time and patience to help me find a good job during pandemic. Systematic interview training helps me get better and feel more comfortable.

CodeBreakers is absolutely worth every penny you spend. It is the ideal, complete package for students who are aspiring to be a Software Engineer. Coach Derek is very patient with his students and the whole team at CodeBreakers adjusts very according to the schedule, commitments and aspirations of the student.

Prior to meeting Darek and joining Codebreakers, I would always study the types of Leetcode problems I felt most comfortable with. But when I got rejected from a FAANG interview, I realized my own study methods were ineffective and began looking for external help.

I decided on Codebreakers over other companies offering similar services because it was apparent to me after our initial consultation that Darek was only interested in helping me land a job and not in making a quick buck.

After going through the Codebreaker's course, I felt comfortable solving every type of problem that companies could ask me. Going through so many mock interviews actually helped calm my anxiety during my real job interviews. After only 3 months of work, I was able to double my salary and land a FAANG job-- a small investment which will affect the trajectory of my entire career and my retirement account (thank you compound interest!)
