Pros

I was attending night school for a degree in Computer Science and working construction 5 days a week. I knew nobody would want to hire a recent graduate who had absolutely 0 experience in the field. Cook Systems gave me that experience. i quit my construction job and put my trust in them. I went through a rigorous 8 week training program that really tested my abilities. In our training class, 16 people started, but only 4 of us completed it. That should give you some idea of how difficult and worth while the training is. After I completed the training, they used their resources and found me a job as a software developer with a reputable company. I've never been happier with my profession.

Cons

Now I have to attend a gym to keep my body from inflating due to a desk job

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The Angular part of the course was outdated.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 I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI.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