Pros

The management team works with the employees. Everyone is treated like family. The FastTrack'D program is revolutionary and is a great way to get a foot in the door, if you do not have prior, professional development experience. Cook Systems hires and promotes based on merit and productivity, instead of slick resumes and seniority. You can make your own career here.

Cons

Very little. I have worked as an anonymous drone in a large, corporate structure before my tenure at Cook. This job is a dream-come-true.

Pros

I was part of one of the earliest FastTrack'D classes and have been working here for almost 2 years. The great thing about this program is that if you have the drive to be successful, you will be. One of the major challenges for people looking to move into development at the beginning of their career is lack of experience which makes it extremely hard to get a position in the industry. The program here will give you that opportunity as long as you have the desire and capacity to learn to be a great developer, despite your previous experience. The team here is excellent. Teamwork is encouraged and expected. Management is focused and enthusiastic, but at the same time displays a genuine interest and concern for each of us.

Cons

Previously, Cook was solely a staffing company. As the direction of the company changes to that of a resource provider, growing pains are some times a part of the process. With more and more internal employees (instead of all contract workers), the company is working on finding it's way with employee policy. Entrance requirements to the FastTrack'D program are constantly being tweaked and evolving. Not necessarily cons, but worth mentioning. Compensation isn't exactly spectacular when you first start. Career changers with a family to support may find the first six months to a year tough. Though I will say, the pay ramps up nicely and I've had no issues with what a previous reviewer mentioned as "unrealistic metrics and expectations".
