Sofie

Software Engineer

“I walked out with three offers from FAANG companies. It’s a testament to the work that Formation did and the work that I did with them. I went from being a zero to hero in terms of my ability to perform in coding rounds.”

Shane

Software Engineer

“I don’t think I would have landed my Amazon role at the L5/SD2 level without it. The biggest takeaway is that all of this stuff is learnable.”

Aditya

Deployment Strategist

“This was an amazing program and it helped me prepare so well for this next role. I felt so confident and calm during my interviews.”

Sinuhé

Senior Software Engineer

“Formation made my job search a lot quicker and more efficient. I ended up getting two offers—one from Microsoft and another from Walmart—for senior roles.”

Drew

Senior Software Engineer

“The most value I gained was from practicing real interviews, being really vulnerable, and being willing to say, ‘Please tell me everything that was wrong with this and how I can improve.’”

Amaya

Software Engineer

“Prior to Formation I was mostly grinding out Leetcode problems, but I found that I hit a wall at some point, and it’s because I wasn’t really getting any feedback on what I was doing. Being able to gauge my performance via sessions and mocks helped me to break through that barrier.”

Mike

Software Engineer

“I was much more comfortable in the technical interviews. Being comfortable with the technical concepts meant that I could focus on solving the problem.”

Dalila

SDE II

“Before joining, I spent a year navigating the job hunt on my own, struggling to make meaningful progress. Formation connected me with a supportive community of peers and mentors who generously shared their knowledge and resources. Their guidance was instrumental in helping me succeed in my interview process.”

Brandon

Data Engineer

“Formation provided me with the skillset, community, and confidence to tackle my interviews. I never felt pressured to progress to another section if I didn’t feel ready, and I always got a lot of support when I got stuck.”
