Title. I got an offer to join Cap one thourgh the CODA program. Basically I do a corporate webdev bootcamp then go full time TDP.
But I find it hard that a walking tax credit would actually get full time employment in a role that actual compsci/ software engineers get hired for.
So what's the catch? And I'll be at the plano location.
pretty goated program and you get paid a good amount lol id rather be here than some nameless company getting underpaid.
TDP program is a scam there is no training and you get blamed. The technology is a disaster you've be forewarned.
The CODA and TDP program exists to bring in new engineers. Competition for talent is very high right now. One way for a company to get talent is to bring in people and train them yourself. Over the course of the TDP program participants will learn how to actually do the job in a real world environment, but at a lower than starting engineer salary. As they train TDPs will also complete important work. Once the program is done, most TDPs will be offered a full time job with competitive salary.
What's the catch? You have to commit to CODA and 2 years as a TDP. You also learn to do things the way Capital One wants. Mostly, this is a win-win scenario. You get upskilled. What does Cap One get? If you stay after the two years Capital One gets a proven engineer, if you leave then Capital One directly influences the way other companies operate and proliferates the Capital One way. Additionally, Capital One gets goodwill for upscaling peoples' tech skills.
