Interview Kickstart

I joined IK and took the level up program. The Course Materials, Instructors and the support team is top notch. The course is well designed for a working professional. Attending seminars, classes and coaching I had always learned something new (new approach to solve a problem, alternate designs). Prior joining IK I was giving loop interviews but was not getting an offer. After joining IK within 4 months I was able to get 3 FT offers. Overall very efficient and resourceful. Read less

I had a great experience with Interview Kickstart. I was one of the early students that used this program. Prior to this program, I was finding it problematic to solve algorithms quickly. Here I learned speed. Don't expect to see magic, you will need to do a lot of practice and IK will provide the structure and support for it. While I learned a lot of things in the program, dynamic programming, and string classes are my favorite. Thank you, IK for offering such a valuable course!  Read less

If you feel outdated and want to kickstart your learning about current trends, then this program is for you. The foundation material and live classes are extremely well thought and taught, the XpertConnect feature lets you schedule adhoc session everyday to clarify your doubts with experienced instructors. The mock interviews are a real game changer, it helps you gain confidence and shed anxiety, prepares you well for the real interviews. The behavioral module available lets you prepare responses well ahead and is reviews by career advocates, which makes you worry less about the behavioral rounds.

Interviewing has always been difficult for me as I always had this feeling of anxiety. My confidence was really low and I always thought to myself that there should be some structured way of preparing for interviews and that's where I came across IK. IK has put together different aspects of interviewing in a well-defined prep-plan starting with coding, system design and career counseling.The modules follow the structured approach for instance in coding, its starts with foundational videos, live class and then a practice problem set that really helps to understand the topic in depth and gain that inner confidence of facing the interviews for that particular topic.The relevant technical books available are theoretical and doesn't really prepare you for interviewing. At IK, they take you through a problem-solving mode that is really required for you to crack interviews and they do it in a very structured pattern. This program has really helped me push my confidence and face interviews specifically given a problem thinking through it organically and coming up with the best approach that is interview acceptable. Kudos to the methodology designed at IK.

The Foundation material, live classes, assignments, curated material, and practical problems gave me the scope and direction I needed. It is an excellent use of time. To be effective and efficient, combine IK assistance with your own hard work.  Practice, practice, and practice some more. Best wishes. That's all there is to it. Read less

This is one of the best interview prep programs out there.  They have live classes for each topic and recordings of previous sessions so you get multiple instructors on the same topic. 

They also have tutors available through out the week including evenings and weekends  to help with your coding assignments. 

 The mock interviews are very similar to an actual interview process. After your interview, you get a thorough feedback on what you did well and areas of improvement and a score.

Overall, I think it is a great investment as you get a lifetime access to the course material and can be used for future interview prep.  Read less

Do not fall in this trap, this is the worst course designed and these people will sound and sell it to you like your dream interview package but this is all to get the money out of your pocket and no refund even if you dont like. %0% refund has so many conditions that you will not get a single penny. Beware of their Advisor calls specially Raghuveer. 
Go for MIT applied data science or affiliated courses. They are total fraud Read less

Well orchestrated material for targeted audience. Brings the infinitesimal breadth and depth of distributed computing into a focused cohesive learning curve.  Thoughtfully designed patterns for every discipline. Lots of practical examples capitalizing upon differentiating factors for acing an interview and creating opportunity for further deep dive should interest follows.  Read less

The best thing for me was the mock interviews. That really helped me a ton. Read less

Interview Kickstart has a comprehensive program to help you prepare for interviews. The data structures and algorithms sections are excellent and very well structured, with specific emphasis on patterns to simplify the process of approaching new problems. System design program has a wealth of information and tips to prepare, although with a few growing pains as new instructors and materials are added. Operations team is responsive and helpful to address questions and concerns. I look forward to trying the mock interviews and career assistance as well. Read less

The curriculum and the module were excellent.
Also, the responses and support provided by the Support team is of superior quality.

The Coding part gives us an excellent base for any online coding assessment. This is followed by the core courses in a very detailed oriented manner. Also, the one-one/ interview mocks ups were an opportunity to preparing for any interviews.

I was hesitant at first because of the price but after watching Omkar's sample vid on one of job portals and attending the initial orientation, I got sold. I couldn't be happier. IK is very different from other crowd-sourced and do-it-yourself sites. The lessons and guidance are very comprehensive yet presented in a way that non-CS and less experienced folks like me can understand easily. It also has an extensive human element on it - you talk and interact with people in the industry for advice and strategy! It's like having a team behind you which objective is nothing but your success. If you are stuck and need expert help, it's an email away. The bonus is that the materials which you will own can be referenced for your production work too (I just did! ;). This is probably the best investment for my career. Thank you IK! Read less

IK is the hub of excellent, experienced, and seasoned engineers who believe in upskilling their students. Their customer support and cohorts are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are very prompt in response; MOCK interviews are close to the original FAANG interviews. Read less

Ik is a great program for someone who wants to fill the gap in their technical skills or crack those difficult coding and system design interviews. If you are ready to put in the hard work, you are only a few months away from your dream job.

Pros:The support team is very understanding and supportive for extending or pausing the course when needed. This helped me a lot. Thanks IK!
Cons:I wished there was a group study feature with other students so that you are not always trying hard to push yourself through any topics you have a hard time with. It might help with interactive study and hence discussions with other students. Read less
