They appear only interested in training people who already have a pretty good knowledge base and could possibly already get a good job in the field, based on the application process. And their application process is amateurishly executed at best. The program itself might be just fine (it seems to be well regarded by those who do get in), but they seem like they’re probably just trying to get a financial piece of the pie for demand for these positions and working off desperation for recent PhDs trying to get a job in a marketplace that is extremely hostile to on-the-job training.

What if i have a previously scheduled presentation at an international conference during the program period? Would i be able to take off a few days to attend the conference?

It was an amazing program: I learned a lot about machine-learning, ETL, spark, and mapreduce and now have a great job!
