Pros

The training program taught current and relevant technologies, tools, and architectures that I now use everyday. Cook Systems actively searches to place you in a job. As someone who is brand new to the field and doesn't have a lot of experience or a great personal-professional network yet, this helped tremendously. All I had to do was pass the training and show up to the interviews. Cook took care of making the calls and setting things up. They also gave me plenty of interview coaching, which definitely helped.

Cons

Been working for them for 8 months now, none yet Someone keeps leaving their old food in the fridge :)

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The Angular part of the course was outdated.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 I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI.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