Pros

They pay employees extremely well, they have a good benefits package, the CEO and CFO care about people and want to do what's right. They have done a great job of working on the culture and treating people with respect. They are high on honesty and integrity and are willing to quickly make changes that are best for the company and people. They love investing in people and giving back to the community. They encourage community involvement and investment and are willing to give you time off to help others. It's a great place to work with low stress as long as the owner does not come around. The owner and the team he had put in place in the past are cultural destroyers.

Cons

As I stated above, stay clear of the owner. If he's around, its' best to run. He doesn't care about people, destroys culture and has hurt a lot of people along his path. Good news is he's not around much and is getting well past his prime to be of service to the company. There is a great divide between the owner and what the current leadership team wants and is trying to do. Unfortunately the owner "thinks" he knows what is best and comes in like a bulldozer and destroys everything in his path. Again, as stated above, he does not come around much which is extremely great for the employees.

Thank you for taking the time to rate your experience with Cook Systems. In a post-pandemic world, many new opportunities have opened up for our employees outside of the Memphis metro area. We appreciate your review!

Pros

A lot of valuable knowledge in short period of time. Great training program. Very collaborative training environment. They encourage people to help and support each other. But you still have to work hard to get through to your dream, no excuses. This place opened the door to career in software development for me!

Cons

When I graduated back in 2017 they were not able to place me and many other students from my group within 2 months period. But with the set of knowledge we got there it wasn't to hard to find software engineering job on our own. Hopefully their staffing team doing much better now
