Pros

- Amazing opportunity for people who don't have previous experience working in Canada/a corporate environment - Fantastic networking events and rapport (i.e. fun class culture, work hard, play hard persona, etc.) - Great office location - in the midst of the financial district/downtown Toronto! - Excellent management - the staff are definitely on top of things, providing people with flexibility and options of where they want to jumpstart their career - Fair pay/fair play - there's a healthy dose of vacation days and pay (fair enough given the criteria) - Hiring season is up and often - there's never a slow season at FDM; the go-go-go mentality is contagious and motivating

Cons

- Perhaps expanding offices in the GTA could be a possible idea (i.e. Scarborough, Mississauga, etc.) to cater to other regions within Toronto - A bit more events would be great; it was always a positive experience whenever FDM family got together!

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.
