DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

- The training is pretty good, even though the technology they teach is outdated. - If you do a good enough job in the two years you've sold your soul to FDM. You can come out working for the client onside making considerably more money.

Cons

- The exact pay for your first year is $44,530. The second year is $49,530. - The benefits might as well be non existent - Once you go on site, that's it, you may as well not exist. No additional training, no employee investment, no ideas are taken into consideration. - If you look at FDM's 2018 financial statement, (all you have to do is google fdm-annual-report-2018, and scroll to page 37) you can tell how much FDM charges vs how little you get paid. - They pay minimum wage for training. They also will always tell you how lucky you are making 15 / hr because in the UK, they don't get paid for training. - If you're going for development, you're most likely going to get placed at a position. If you're anything else, it's gamble if you're even going to get a position. - If you get pulled offsite, in the interim, they will pay you $32,000 dollars a year (no matter if you're in the first or second year). - No incentive programs / opportunities to earn more. You're stuck with what you get.

Pros

Amazing training program. Helped me prepare for IT jobs at bigger companies. Some of the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Two year contract is a double edged sword. I was stuck with a 45k salary for two years, but I also got much needed experience in IT.
