Vantaggi

The Academy has free coffee.

Svantaggi

16 weeks of mandatory training at $12.50/hr provides you with no certification. Base salary is ~$22,680 with ~$68 bonus per day on placement. This theoretically equates to ~$40k in your first year. However, when you are between placements, you do not get your $68 bonus. This means you are getting payed ~$10.90/hr during the time you aren't in a placement. This is the minimum wage for students under 18 working less than 28 hours per week, $11.60 is true minimum wage as of writing. They get away with this for whatever reason (maybe that you have a set salary instead of an hourly one). Placements are not guaranteed, you still have to go through interviews with the FDM clients, and the placements are contracts of different lengths (that aren't necessarily going to be 2 years), so expect to be payed less than minimum wage for multiple stretches during your tenure. They value their training at $75/hr, that's their "investment in you." Breaching your two year contract with FDM can thus cost you upwards of $30k. Once you're in, you're in. Do not recommend.

Vantaggi

It is a job that pays.

Svantaggi

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.
