Pros

I have been with FDM for 1.5 years. The technical and professional skills training is relevant, the clients are high profile and the experience that I've had in two different roles so far is priceless. I couldn't have done this or received just valuable experience without FDM at this point in my career. I like the people at FDM and the sociable atmosphere.

Cons

The FDM model doesn't suit everyone. It suits people who are willing to meet FDM half way. By this I mean that FDM trains you and lines up the placement opportunities, but you will not succeed unless you also put in the effort to practice for the interviews and make a suitable impression. I think this is obvious - but have seen some fail due to a lack of effort on their part.

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.
