Vantaggi

Opportunity to expand professional network. Opportunity to relocate (if that is what you are into) Help with finding employment with their clients. 401k matching up to 2% (free money into your 401k which over the course of 2 years equates to 1 extra paycheck of money into your 401k, yes I did the math)

Svantaggi

Where to begin..? Pay is absolutely criminal. No matter what client you work for and where you work, pay remains the same. That is to say a person working for a health insurance organization based out of Tennessee will make the same amount as a person working for a top tier financial institution based out of NYC. This bodes better for the person in Tennessee but not for the person in NYC that has to struggle to make ends meet on a 30k-45k salary. Complete and utter lack of professionalism. The management and those in charge of the clients see you as a commodity rather than a person. They could not possibly care less what happens to you as long as they get you to work onsite with a client so you are making them money. They give up on their employees rather than work with them. I saw people let go for failing too many interviews rather than working with those people to understand why they are failing at interviews. An entire group of employees were laid off because they all received the same exact mediocre review from a client. FDM never questioned why multiple people received the same exact review, word for word, from a person at the client company that did not work with those FDM employees at all. Exploitation of employees. If you find yourself unlucky enough to be in between placements, you are given the "choice" to either study up on PEGA, or to do development work for FDM. Rather than hire developers at a reasonable salary to do any infrastructure work they need, FDM uses their consultants to get this work done and pay those employees a whopping 33k a year to do these tasks. Benefits are not worth it, you will be paying out of pocket for most medical expenses so either stay on your family plan, or look for your own insurance.

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.
