Pros

Exposure to technologies during the training period is quite good. Although the training is not great, it was great to be exposed to unix, SQL, VBA and Java. Possibility of going permanent in some big clients

Cons

Very low pay. Lack of support to their consultants. Lack of preparation for specific assignments/placements. Bad company culture - lack of incentives to support other FDM people placed on the client. Inflexible work agreement that can restrict your career significantly - need to be 100% flexible geographically across UK and need to work for 2 years for FDM Bad training - some of the modules stated in the training contract didn't have instructors or minimum materials

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
