Pros

The FastTrack'd program is an essential resource in the modern age that adequately identifies talent and respectively finds immediate placement for that talent in a focused career. Rather than focusing on generalized studies that have proven to be ineffective in determining an individual's skill level, FastTrack'd helps that individual find the practical resources and knowledge needed to be successful in his/her career. Also, the company could not have a better support system comprised of dedicated and motivated individuals. For a person like myself who did not have any opportunities in a professional career without finishing my degree and no financial means to do so, Fasttrack'd is a saving grace. The company provides excellent time off policies, a well-rounded, free training program that will prepare anyone with potential to jump into a career as a developer, fast pay raises that are promised and fulfilled with the initial contract, and a relaxed family-like environment with an impossibly strong support system.

Cons

The company prides itself on only hiring the best candidates, which can result in people being denied or let go due to performance. The Fasttrack'd training program is rigorous and only individuals with the drive to succeed will survive it. In a highly competitive market, Cook maintains its validity through being a highly competitive asset.

Pros

The Java Spring part of the training was good but minimal. We only learned RESTful APIs with Spring Boot.

Cons

The Angular part of the course was outdated. We started with 8 students in the cohort, 1 dropped out and 7 graduated. None of the 7 were able to be placed. I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI. We only learned how to build CRUD applications.
