Pros

FDM fills you with a lot of confidence and makes you believe the world is your oyster, until it's time to deliver .... then you receive nothing but excuses and get messed around with. If you are someone with no specific career ambitions, have not achieved greatly in your degree or have no other place to turn to, this is the perfect place for you.

Cons

FDM do not deliver! They take advantage of graduates in tough situations by giving false promises and tie you into a contract! They send you off to places around the UK where it is easier to get a job anyways; so not actually doing you any favours or doing anything you cannot do yourself. I would recommend having FDM as a very last resort and even if you get offered a place at FDM, in the mean time, please apply to other jobs and try get something better. By better I mean a company who doesn't mess you around, make you wait for months and cancel the course you were meant to attend. I am unable to understand how a company can be successful and be untrustworthy, unorganised, unfair and unpredictable.

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.
