Pros

From training, to access to multinational and fortune 500 companies. Depending on the client pool available, FDM really helps you get the big clients meaning your experience most often is incredibly beneficial to your career trajectory. They train you up from interviewing to cv and the most needed skills in finance and tech so that's great too. This is the 3rd year I've been there, and I can attest that the current HR Personnel in HK has been incredible and supportive of the consultants, their initiatives and approach has elevated my view of FDM Group as a whole. Most of the staff who guide the consultants are amazing too, including the account managers, it has made me proud to be from FDM and continue to try my best to represent it well.

Cons

The initial 2 year lock, but one can either take that as not or also beneficial because you secure and tie yourself to 2 years meaning those 2 years will be in your resume. It depends on which client you land and the placement experience. The tests you have to go through with the ~2 month training is quite challenging too but you have learned a lot and have good resources on hand by the end of that.

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.
