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

I have worked for Cook Systems for over a year now, and I believe that it has followed through on its promise to support its employees. The pay increase structure is better than any other workplace I have been. This program gave me the opportunity that I wasn't getting even with a four year bachelor's degree and technical certification. This program can greatly help job seekers to overcome a lack of experience.

Cons

Possible long bench time, but that can be overcome by increasing skills.

Pros

Guaranteed placement if you are able to get through the FastTrackD program, which is extremely fast paced, time intensive, and one of the most rewarding endeavors I have personally been involved with.. Prepares candidates for entry into the job market by exposing and building on a core set of educational criteria that highlight industry technology and standards. Competitive salary, full benefits, amazing support from the company, and job security. This is hands down the best choice I could have made to enter into the Enterprise job market as a Java developer. I passed over several opportunities for internships for the sole purpose of attending Cooks FastTrackD program, and I do not regret that decision one little bit. I have met so many amazing, intelligent, and talented people while working for Cook and look forward to a long career working for them.

Cons

Not really a con, but if you enter the FastTrackD program expecting an easy ride, then the program is likely not for you. The program is fast-paced and requires a great deal of time to master the knowledge you are taught. By design the class is made to challenge you intellectually, and push you to the level of excellence that is needed to succeed in today's enterprise environment.
