Pros

The FastTrack'd program is an essential resource in the modern age that adequately identifies talent and respectively finds immediate placement for that talent in a focused career. Rather than focusing on generalized studies that have proven to be ineffective in determining an individual's skill level, FastTrack'd helps that individual find the practical resources and knowledge needed to be successful in his/her career. Also, the company could not have a better support system comprised of dedicated and motivated individuals. For a person like myself who did not have any opportunities in a professional career without finishing my degree and no financial means to do so, Fasttrack'd is a saving grace. The company provides excellent time off policies, a well-rounded, free training program that will prepare anyone with potential to jump into a career as a developer, fast pay raises that are promised and fulfilled with the initial contract, and a relaxed family-like environment with an impossibly strong support system.

Cons

The company prides itself on only hiring the best candidates, which can result in people being denied or let go due to performance. The Fasttrack'd training program is rigorous and only individuals with the drive to succeed will survive it. In a highly competitive market, Cook maintains its validity through being a highly competitive asset.

Pros

I was one of the first through the Java FastTrack'd program 2.5 years ago. I believe it has given me a great start on my career. I've now worked on projects that include technologies such as Java, VB, C#, PHP, EclipseRCP, Spring Framework and many more. The training was tough but doable as long as you dedicate yourself to it and work hard. The management here is very ambitious and always working hard to improve the program in all aspects.

Cons

The process in which we select people is constantly being improved but sometimes we've had people get in that just weren't capable from the beginning. Unfortunately the selection process isn't perfect yet but is evolving.
