Pros

FDM gets you a foot in the door at companies that maybe wouldn't look at your CV

Cons

The mandatory training is not of much value, many of the courses were of shocking quality. We the group complained we were just ignored. FDM know you need them to get a job so just do whatever they want to do. 20 days holiday but 3 have to be taken over Christmas so only 17 avaiable for the rest of the year. Sick pay even after one year's service is 4 days at full pay- and then Statutory Sick Pay for the rest of the time...about £20 per day!

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.
