Pros

Many clients are working with FDM, giving you a bridge to join large (most financial) organizations which would otherwise be hard to get into through normal routes. The pay is also decent for a first job and they also train you with some of the skills required on the job. The team at FDM are generally nice and will help you if you speak up, but it really depends on who your account manager is as well.

Cons

As you will mostly be out of FDM office and will be seconded on-site at client companies, this is something you need to know about before joining. Work/Life balance will also depend on which client you join and which team as well, so it may be a little bit of the luck of the draw for you. Also, you would still be competing with others in FDM for a position with the clients, so it's not as though you are guaranteed to get a role as soon as you finish training.

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.
