When companies hire developers, do they look at self-taught/bootcamp devs as a benefit or a liability?

My data is small and dated, but the bootcamp devs we put through the normal interview process did not come close to passing. They had only went skin deep on a bunch of different stuff -- probing further into any specific area usually brought more questions than answers.
