Pros

The training you get is good - you learn a lot The companies on their books are companies that would not usually hire graduates straight out of Uni If you get placed outside of London, the pay is decent, particularly in the 3rd Year

Cons

You have to be geographically flexible The training is unpaid and can last longer than the stated 16 weeks You have to commit for a 2 year minimum period I can live with the two cons above however. What I cannot live with is the lack of communication between the FDM Mounties placed onsite and the account managers. It has been really poor from the outset. They don't respond to emails and you hear about important things through the grapevine. Also, the client whose site you are placed on is also sometimes kept in the dark. It really needs to be sorted out and thus they will only get 2 starts from me

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.
