Pros

Ever since joining FDM as a trainee in 2009 I have been offered fantastic opportunities. I have been given the chance to work both on client site as a software tester and in house at FDM as an academy trainer. I have found FDM to be very good at recognising strong performance. I have been rewarded in the past with offers of additional responsibility and exciting projects to work on. I did find these extra tasks challenging but they have allowed me to develop new skills and gain fantastic experience. I have learnt a great deal through working for FDM and they have really allowed me to build the foundations of my career in IT. Without FDM I am not sure where I would have ended up after graduating University.

Cons

In my experience I have nothing negative to say about FDM. I have always enjoyed working there and they have always treated me well.

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.
