I work for a small tech company that hires people without 4-year degrees (or with unrelated 4-year degrees). For front-end developers, we like folks who have gone through an associate’s program at a CC or a certification program at the state U. I don’t think we’ve hired out of boot camps, can’t really recall seeing resumes from boot camp trainees. I wouldn’t automatically discount the possibility, but prefer the pipelines we have experience with. For Java developers more education is preferred but we have hired promising individuals who have not completed a degree.

Interesting. Do you know if the Java developers without a 4 year degree get offered the same starting salaries as the candidates with a degree?
