Pros

Some trainers were top quality

Cons

I was basically thrown into an online IT sweatshop and left to figure it out. I would recommend others to join but make sure you get an interview with your placement so you can scope out what your working environment will be like. If the account managers try to get you to sign yourself to any company that looks like 90% of their workers are outsourced to online sweatshops do not sign no matter what they say. You are not a human to them but merely a number. These toxic environments will severely hinder your career progression and no one signs up to FDM for the salary.

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.
