It was a great experience to go through a program where you gain in-depth insight from working professionals along with learning crucial techniques to crack software interviews. The material covered was great and very relative. The focus is more on being a better engineer and about the process to get there and can be applied to the current job or future job. The instructors were very knowledgable and very helpful.- AnonymousStudent • Technical Program Manager Interview course • San JoseSep 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Organized way to cover the fundamentals
Really enjoyed this course as it covered the fundamentals but also challenged you in the problem sets. It was very easy to reach out and get help both from the support team and the instructors! - AnonymousGraduate • Machine Learning Interview Preparation • San JoseSep 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Ik class is well structured
I took the ML specialization course. It was well structured, what helped me the most were the technical coaching sessions where I could get help with regards to coding questions and mock interviews helped me a lot as well. For ML system design, would have liked review of more questions.

Great support
I just started, and the content seems very useful so far. The Support team they have is top-notch.

Comprehensive Interview Preparation Program - A Remarkable Investment.
Absolutely worth it! This program covers all the essential aspects of interview preparation comprehensively. The foundational videos and live classes on algorithms and system design have greatly strengthened my core concepts, and the instructors are impressively current with industry trends.

Review for masterclass
This course provided me with structured learning for interview preparation. It has all the ingredients that were missing when I was preparing for the interview on my own. First of all, the course material is extensive yet focused on interview preparation, and the teachers are very skilled and patient. Mock interviews provide crucial feedback during the coursework. My only word of caution is that this is not a magical solution, and this course requires a serious and consistent time commit...This course provided me with structured learning for interview preparation.

One of the best training program for FAANG+ interviews!
The training course materials are awesome. Instructors are very knowledgeable. The problems assigned in the course are very challenging and interesting and very much aligned to the industry ask. The Thursday problem solving classes are very helpful. And finally the support staffs are very very helpful. I would highly recommend to take the IK courses for your next level of career uplevel. - AnonymousGraduate • Backend Engineering Interview Preparation • San JoseAug 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Backend Engineering Interview Course
The fundamental material they provide in their courses are exactly the same if you have gone through CS or related major. However on top of that they provide things university don’t teach, such as offer negotiations, effective ways to attract recruiters etc. And having mock interviews is also very helpful to track down what mistakes you have made in the past.

Comprehensive database of interview content
Great interview content. Its the one-stop-shop for every topic you need to know for an interview. Overwhelming content, but the content is neatly categorized as "foundational videos", "live classes & recordings" and "additional resources". Instructors are great and recorded classes available from other instructors as well. Specifically recommend it for content from Omkar Deshpande. I got good at recursion and dynamic programming, cause of Omkar's videos.
