I am currently a senior at Hack Reactor, and I can vouch for the high quality of education and job prep that HR gives its students. The figures that HR mention are real, and we have students who are now working at places like Google.

"We have students who are now working at places like Google" is nothing like the same as "99% of our graduates receive job offers from companies like Adobe and Google."

I love the line "companies like Adobe and Google".

McDonald's is a company like Adobe and Google, in the sense that it has a name and sells things.

Right, that's my thought also - what % actually at least gets an interview at Google, and what % gets hired?

Does "like Google" mean "Google, for example" or does it mean "places that are like Google, but not necessarily Google"?

I assume it is the first, not the misleading second. ;)
