Avantages
Guaranteed placement if you are able to get through the FastTrackD program, which is extremely fast paced, time intensive, and one of the most rewarding endeavors I have personally been involved with.. Prepares candidates for entry into the job market by exposing and building on a core set of educational criteria that highlight industry technology and standards. Competitive salary, full benefits, amazing support from the company, and job security. This is hands down the best choice I could have made to enter into the Enterprise job market as a Java developer. I passed over several opportunities for internships for the sole purpose of attending Cooks FastTrackD program, and I do not regret that decision one little bit. I have met so many amazing, intelligent, and talented people while working for Cook and look forward to a long career working for them.
Inconvénients
Not really a con, but if you enter the FastTrackD program expecting an easy ride, then the program is likely not for you. The program is fast-paced and requires a great deal of time to master the knowledge you are taught. By design the class is made to challenge you intellectually, and push you to the level of excellence that is needed to succeed in today's enterprise environment.
