Pros

Getting paid to learn skills relevant to IT industry, support prior to and during placement, wide variety of IT roles available exclusively to FDM consultants, encourages FDM consultants at the same client to support each other during placement, potential to be onboarded permanently to client organisation, FDM consultants events throughout the year.

Cons

Minimal salary as a Graduate IT Consultant, 2 year placement minimum requirement, onboarding to client organisation is not guaranteed, potential role type/availability is subject to job market, software developer training program may be difficult for those from non-IT backgrounds

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.
