Pros

They will give everything they have to find you a role and keep you stuck there, whether you want it or not. If you can last in a position for 2 years, you will have some good job experience.

Cons

They will attempt to sue you for damages if you leave. The amount is roughly 10 months of your net pay for the first year. This exorbitant amount is for the training you receive, which, is about the same as a semester at public college. Basically, once you sign the contract they try to wheel and deal you on, you are trapped. No freedom.

Too little pay

Pros

Good if you do not have CS degree, they get your foot in the door with big name clients. I tried to get interviews before FDM and I wouldn't even get a call for an interview because I had 0 years of experience and a nonrelated degree. I switched careers during the pandemic and figured ill take the pay cut for the two-year contract. Their business model worked for me because I don't have responsibilities besides myself, if I had any dependents it would've been a lot more stressful. You get 15 pto days

Cons

You get $15 an hour while in training up until you get placed, then you begin your salary. And lots of people in my training did not get placed right after training, some never got placed and only made 15 an hour. The pay is very very low for the industry. Anyone with a CS degree should be making double what they pay for the salary. They also don't adjust pay for where you're placed. if you are placed in NYC or Atlanta your pay is the same. Look at the salaries reported and FDM does not compare.
