The FastTrack'D program is the real deal. I graduated the program in 2013, have been with Cook Systems ever since. - Software Developer Cook Systems Employee Review

Pros

The company takes care of its own as well as it can. The management structure (all the way up to the CEO) treats every employee as family. FastTrack'D graduates specifically get treated very well since the company regards them as more or less the life-blood of the company's future. Graduates have the benefit of receiving face-to-face performance reviews every 6 months, followed by promotions/raises if performance is good.

Cons

Insurance benefits are a little lacking, but that's to be expected of a home-grown company. Some internal processes are a little more free-flowing than they probably should be. FastTrack'D graduates start at a salary slightly lower than the average entry-level programmer.

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The Angular part of the course was outdated.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 I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI.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.
