Pros

you can fill your resume as a java developer

Cons

To anyone thinking "because it's a great start" - I absolutely advise against it. It was mental agony, torture. The training is so bad that people had to buy packages on various portals in order to actually learn, which meant they had to stay up all night and often into the morning. To get to grips with the subject. They try to teach Java in 6 weeks, which is not serious, because this language requires a minimum of 3 months, preferably 6-9 months. There was a video circulating where the hr generalist was saying that if it came to a situation where we were going to be fired they would let us know a month in advance - he said this interrupting another female hr who said they would TRY to let us know as early as possible and the generalist said they wouldn't try, they would, that was guaranteed. We were made redundant a few days before the end of the month, some without even informing us, these people just received a "mutual agreement" without knowing beforehand that they were being made redundant. Now we are unemployed because we didn't even have a chance to find something in those few days. Coming back to the trainings - because I see that one very concrete and detailed opinion was deleted - a tragedy. There are trainers who say that they know as much as we do and are not able to help us when something doesn't work, and we have to give the project to them... there are those who choose their own people to ride them. And there are those who have requirements like for the mids after 2 weeks. If you tell them what could be better or something is uncool, you are on target. They make it very clear that we are only "assets" and our opinion does not count. On top of that, you can't count on a job in programming. They only have offers for some other positions not related to coding and get annoyed when we don't want those positions.
