Providing mentorship to junior engineers through thoughtful code review to maintain a relentlessly high quality bar for both your own code the code of all team members
Shipping features that fail and then shipping iterations that eventually succeed. Being smart about the “tech debt” that is easily reversible vs. ones with long term consequences in order to make the right decisions to move quickly

Our take

Formation are training the engineering workforce they believe the world needs. The platform combines adaptive learning technology with a mentorship network of industry experts to create personalized, online training programs for job seekers who have the potential to become exceptional software engineers.

The company wants to offer an experience beyond boot camps, which have become educational machines that churn out hundreds of thousands of students without individualized attention. In fact, Formation achieves the opposite. Its programs do not follow a fixed curriculum, but instead its adaptive technology builds personalized training, meaning students can work on their specific needs and reach their maximum potential.
