Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

I've told recruiters a version of that a few times. 75% chance they say that glassdoor should be ignored because it is a forum for disgruntled employees to complain, and happy people don't post there. 50% chance they give you a piece of interesting info like "well, recent challenges due to [a reorg/merger/layoff/leadership turnover/growing pains] have harmed the ratings, but those challenges are being resolved".
The recruiters were typically surprised that I put them on the back foot, but I've never got attitude from a recruiter as a result.
Lol now I’m almost tempted to tell her to hear which one she might use. I don’t think she would be able to use the “only disgruntled employees post there”, since there are soooo many (eerily similar) 5 star reviews.
Eh you don’t have to say that’s why, just say you’re not interested in the role based off of what you heard
See below lol. I did and she called me 🙈
I was on the fence after the call, but the negative reviews sealed the deal. The recruiter sent me a follow up email and I replied letting her know I didn’t think it would be a good fit. She called and left me a voicemail basically saying she thought I would be a great fit and wanted an opportunity to address any concerns I had.
Thanks for the perspective! She’s an in house employee so I’m not super concerned about burning that bridge. Also, if I’m being honest, her insistence kinda validated some of the reviews about them being extremely understaffed and desperate/putting on a show to bring new hires in. Or maybe she’s just a passionate recruiter lol. Not worth the gamble
