Pros

They will almost certainly find you a job (but not 100%) Great training team

Cons

In my group of 11, 2 got placed in a software role and the rest got placed in other roles. As this was a Softeware Trainee Graduate role, I was expecting to get a role in that field... The 'Sales teeam' did not care about finding a role for you that was suitable, they just want you in and out the door as fast as possible. You will be messed arround. I was initially on Java, they sent me to an interview (which they believed was for a Java role). In the interview they told me it was in fact C#, offered me the job, then FDM changed me to the C# track. A week later they pulled the offer and I was back on Java and had to catch up from a week of missing the course.

Lots of useful skills gained, including business skills that you don't necessarily learn at university

Cons

Not great for people travelling from afar, rent costs can be pretty tough.
