Pros

The FDM graduate programme gives you the opportunity to work with some fantastic companies, many of which I would not have been able to work for without going through the programme. Although the company has grown hugely, it has a small feel to it and you get to know everyone in the company very quickly. Everyone is very friendly and wants to you do to well. Even though you go off to work at other companies around the UK after the training, you stay in contact with many people at the company and it is a good way to network and meet new people who can help you develop in your career.

Cons

The training can be tough at times, but there are experiences trainers there to help you and you are going through the training with other graduates so you can help each other where possible.

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.
