Vantaggi

1) Reasonably comprehensive training. Trainer quality is overall pretty good, but can vary. 2) You will meet a lot of peers who are also trying to start their careers. 3) Health/vision/dental benefits kick in during training.

Svantaggi

1) You will work for around a month before ever receiving a paycheck . 2) $15/hr until you work on-site with a client. 3) Lower end $50K - $60K salary as a consultant (ramps up every 6 months). 4) You are locked into 2 year contract with the client; leaving FDM before then incurs a $15K fee (their value for training). 5) Account managers who facilitate client placement vary immensely in quality/professionalism. 6) Minimal support is provided after training is completed; you are mostly on your own to maintain and improve your skills. 7) Projects done after training but before client placement are poorly managed and have no full-time staff oversight. 8) Poor communication overall - decisions are constantly made that not all staff are aware of, or in agreement on. There's a general impression that a lot of people are trying their best but winging it.

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.
