Pros

Easy to get in. A taste of professional working environment. Start-up level IT training. Prospects in working in major financial institutions.

Cons

Could take up to 6 months(or more) before landing on a job since started. Underpayed. Equivalent job in an investment bank pays 75%- 100% more than FDM. Training is basic. Some trainers are trained to train(There are trainer trainees). No control over career path. The prospects of getting placed entirely depends on the work of sales. I.E. You have little chance on getting a job if sales are not performing, even if you are technically proficient. Outrageous "Sign-off" process. FDM deliberately slows the Sign-off to keep you from leaving the company.

Pros

Work for the best companies in the world, very easy recruitment process, gain good qualification, and meet a lot of people just out of university.

Cons

No pay until you are sent on client site, which can be more then the agreed 6 months. Management is selective on who they send on interviews. You might have to wait a long time before you get placed anywhere.

Pros

They can get you into industry jobs

Cons

As much as they can get you in, they can make you and I mean make you do any role even if you wanted to. Couple years ago, there was a role as the assistant to the assistant of the CEO at a bank, a timid female graduate was strong armed into taking that role. The sales staff known as “account managers” and their seniors all look down on the graduates, people are sent to places that they plead to not go to which falls on deaf ears. Consultants are lied to about roles and the locations just to get the sale. Consultants are seen as a product and dehumanised with an emphasis on if you speak up can mean that you are ‘difficult’ and essentially no account manager wants to put you forward for roles. Even account managers are treated poorly by senior managers. No Diversity at CXO level. New personnel required at CXO level to ensure people are treated better and better educated
