Mixed (C+) — Career Trajectory Grade

General Assembly (GA) is the largest bootcamp by enrollment with 30+ global campuses and corporate L&D programs. Cohort quality has declined post-Adecco acquisition (2018) as the company pivoted toward corporate-training revenue. Independent bootcamps now consistently outperform GA on placement and median salary metrics.
