Pros

Cook Systems is a good place to get a start in the IT career field. So far I have been able to network and team up with many other developers, work with several clients, and gain that much needed experience to succeed in the software development sector. The experience is by far the most valuable asset to gain from this company. The initial training period for the Fasttrackd program is unpaid, but it really does help out those with the ability to become great software developers who are having trouble getting a start in their career. The staff is pretty laid back and there is hardly ever any drama that arises. They are also very supportive, ranging from recovering from a major accident, losing your house in a fire, losing loved ones, to even girl scout cookies.

Cons

There does need to be more support available, but that's always true for anything. I don't know the internal workings of a business, but they could use more organization and transparency. Again, that's also always true for anything. Health insurance is a bit more expensive compared to plans provided by other employers.

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The Angular part of the course was outdated.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 I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI.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