Hi, ex-bootcamper here, at Academia de Código. I guess it varies from bootcamp to bootcamp. Portugal is more peaceful and well structured in that point. Mainly because bootcamps here have a meaning, and know they can only promise what they think a person can deliver.
From my experience, everything has been a smooth sailling for me, PMs gave me a lot of freedom (like letting me architecture a whole new frontend when it had been 2 weeks after leaving the bootcamp), even in my first boring company, and I guess I can speak for some of my collegues: Bootcampers evolve faster than college grads. I don't know if it's because we have a closer bond with teachers, or because we had rough backgrounds, or because most grads do not learn fun stuff at uni and do not see coding as a toy.
I want to remember that I only have arts high school, and I almost jumped 5 years in my tech career in a single year, thanks to a bootcamp, while my old school friends get behind and can't even build a REST API from start to finish.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
