Vantaggi

- My options were limited after a career break, and at the time this was the surest and quickest way for me to get back into work - I felt well supported by the trainers and people who ran the program. They were keen to see me succeed - I got exactly what I needed out of the programme & placement and was able to find a very good job afterwards

Svantaggi

- I really didn't like the company that I was placed with and knowing that I was probably going to be stuck with it for 2 years was fairly soul destroying - I had got to the point that I was so desperate to get back into my old career that I'd have pretty much worked for free. I therefore willingly accepted the poor pay & conditions. However, I could never shake off the feeling my situation had been taken advantage of and exploited even though I was grateful of the opportunity - FDM consultants are much cheaper than permanent employees for companies, which means that you have to work hard to get their respect

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.
