Pros

The training program is generous and thorough. You work as an employee of Cook Systems, not as a contractor, so you get benefits and a salary, even between jobs.

Cons

Management is spread too thin to hear/address employee concerns effectively. Crowded work environment. Unclear corporate organization means employees have to treat everyone they meet as a superior, which is exhausting. The management doesn't pay enough attention to their employees to know when clients blame their poor organization & communication on Cook employees.

We will take your view into consideration. There are very few customer commands that can be "shrugged off" though. We will make every attempt to pay close attention and protect our employees from unreasonable situations.

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The Angular part of the course was outdated.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 I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI.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