The materials are taught like a story; easy to digest and enjoyable to go through (Kudos to Omkar). The instructors provide guidance on the thought process on how to come up with a solution during lecture and also when answering questions we ask. They have drop in technical coaching sessions everyday but I personally like sending questions/code through email and the instructors usually respond within the same day after reading the code and pin pointing what's the error, why it wouldn't work out and what to change with our existing code as well as the modified code that passes all the test cases. They also provide personalized input on our interviewing weaknesses. The level of guidance within the program exceeds my expectations and I came out of the program with a different set of appreciation for computer science in general.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

Interview Kickstart
Really strong and complex algorithms and data structure course, instructors will explain not just a top-level approach but most of the topics in conceptual depth as well as multiple ways to approach problems and the most suitable strategies.
Although it's very intensive so be ready to spend all of your free time on it and even more :)
The system design part is also pretty good.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

However, soon i found myself lost in between learning and finding content from different sources. This was my main reason to sign up for IK Interview Prep class. They provided proper structure of topics to learn, they shared different coding problem patterns and their content is clear and easy to understand. IK Support team is also great and very responsive. Interview prep will require your full attention and good amount of time. There is lot to learn. One advice i would share is that, during support period, create your own schedule on how you would tackle topics and problems. This will help you be very productive during support period.
I would highly recommend IK Program to anyone who is looking to prepare for technical interviews.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

There are times when an instructor might not be very good and this is why I am not giving the overall experience a 5 start but what makes up for this is the presence of recorded videos of other instructors as well. The overall experience right from algorithms, system design, behavioral, mock interviews was very good and I will definitely recommend this to others who are looking to change jobs or getting into interviewing after a very long time like in my case. To conclude, you only get out of the program what you put into it. Put in the tough yards, be completely focused and going through the IK curriculum will ensure that you come out of the program successfully.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

I came to Interview kickstart last year and learnt so much. The reading material before classes is very helpful for the basics and particularly the lecture videos from mr. omkar is simply amazing. The way he explains in his videos is very easy to understand. I feel more confident when I have to solve problems now and to give interviews. Thank you interview kickstart and mr. omkar for his videos. Definitely recommending.Student Success Advoacte of Interview Kickstart
