Pros

Great mission, nice colleagues, very rewarding helping people find a new career

Cons

Codeworks has no leadership in the normal sense. The CEO is on a forever vacation and the guy in charge is much more passionate about being in charge than doing the work of a leader. Although he is very inexperienced (I think is his first management job???) so it's not his fault maybe. All decisions are top-down, everything takes 10x longer as needed, theres no culture except the friendship between colleagues. Management knows this but refuse to (or can't?) change anything. They will read this and be much more interested in who posted it, and how do they get it removed, than fixing any of the problems. At a top level, the bootcamp market hype is over and there is little possibilities for growth or investment without big changes, which are impossible.

Pros

Realized how much I still needed to learn while teaching the students, and this definitely made me a better developer. The staff in Barcelona is super supportive and understanding, and the offices are amazing.

Cons

Sometimes it felt like the students were not trusted and their independence and decisions were misjudged. I think it would be valuable to let the students make their own decisions in terms of commitment. After all they are the clients paying for a service.
