Pros

I'd imagine mileage would vary depending on your "stream" and "trainers" involved in your development but I had a very good experience with all the trainers who were able to deliver education on par with post-secondary standards Some backstory: - prior to applying to FDM I had unsuccessfully applied to over 200 tech positions - new graduate with an electrical engineer bachelors - no software development experience Now i'm placed in a development role in one of Canada's major financial institutions Final thoughts: - who is this opportunity for? - new graduates with no experience - new graduates in a different field - professionals looking for a career transition - who is this not for? - new graduates with experience - professionals in this field with experience

Cons

A lot of people mention the pay, but you have to be realistic; FDM is putting candidates through up to 4 months of paid training, costing FDM upwards of - $10000 for your hourly (14.5) during the 4 months - Salary of all the trainers involved in your training - Salary of all the sales teams involved in your placement - Salary of all the internal staff involved in your administration
