Pros

Was able to speed through their FastTrack program & they landed everyone in my class a job before the program was even over. Very much enjoy the position they got me & got a promotion after a year. It's been a true springboard for my career and a catalyst towards my advancement in the field.

Cons

First two years they take a chunk of your pay. Be ready to work hard, especially after your complete the program. I'd argue it's all worth it if you know this is something you want.

Pros

1. NO experience required. I had a degree in Computer Science when I entered Fast Track'd. Few companies seemed to want to hire developers with no experience. When I read the post for this program, I definitely had doubts about its legitimacy. But I took the offer, and I never looked back. I am currently six months into my first assignment, and I finally feel like I am where I am supposed to be. 2. Fast Track'd is a free program. 3. My instructors were highly informative, and overall, every employee seemed to wish to see me succeed.

Cons

1. The cost of living during the two months may be hard for some to attain. Cook offers free living for the duration, but two months without pay is a hurtle if you have any significant bills. 2. Assessments are stressful, but for a reason. I felt both exhausted and accomplished after each assignment.

Pros

I read a lot of reviews before making the decision to apply for the FastTrack'd program. So I'll try to be somewhat thorough with my review. From the moment their recruiter reached out to me I felt like she was honest and upfront about the difficulty of the program and what was expected of me. I took their pre-assessments and had an over the phone interview/Skype interview. The class itself was very intense and fast paced (as was described to me from the very beginning) and yes, people are cut if their performance is not up to standard. The teachers know what they are doing and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have-but you need to ask. They provide snacks/drinks since you will be there from 9am-5pm. They also have random lunches and even a few social outings. Be prepared to lose some sleep and truly be challenged. They constantly ask for feedback, you can tell they actually care to know what you think throughout the whole experience. Interview/resume prep is part of the deal as well and everyone there is a great support system if you make it to the end. There was constant communication from all parties involved after I graduated from the program and the transition was smooth once I did receive a contract. Cook Systems tries really hard to make everyone feel like family and constantly improve not only the FastTrack'd program but the company as whole. It has been an incredible opportunity and life changer-you just have to work hard to achieve it.

Cons

Lack of sleep/hard work
