Pros

Very easy to become a trainee - this does not mean that you are getting paid though nor does it mean that you will get a job.

Cons

Sign off process: You can train for 6 months+ without pay. This training is mainly self-taught. When you get signed off you have to allow FDM 3 months to find you an interview for a job. If at the end of 3 months they find you nothing only then you can leave without owing them anything. The risk: You may have to attend their office 9-5:30 for 9 months and get nothing or get something that you don't want. You may work at a reputable organisation, but by having FDM as your agent any benefits such as pay rises, and promotions don't come your way. If you are happy with the work that FDM found you and your employer is happy with you, the employer may wish to take you on permanently at the end of your 2 years with FDM. In such a situation you would not be allowed to apply for a job with the company that you worked at. The employer would have to deal with FDM. FDM would charge the company a substantial sum of money to sign you, even if your 2 years with FDM has ended. In such a situation the company may decide that they don't want to pay your agent a signing on fee.

Pros

There are plenty of other people in the same boat as you Free sandwiches at lunch time

Cons

(as mentioned by others, comments I agree with) Very high risk - You have to train for 3 months and then wait for upto 3 months for a job. You can only leave if no job is found after 6 months & still have to go in every day for no money Lack of respect for people An overall negative environment to be in Training staff donot train but more or less "facilitate" You can learn everything taught at home because they're going to tell you to google it anyway. The amount worth of the services are surplussed, it is no where near the amount people can be fined

Pros

-Easy Application and hiring process -Provide Training -Not Terrible Pay

Cons

This a software contracting firm, which is a nice way to say they are a tech temp agency. They will over promise and then severely under deliver. I worked for them for 2 years, even picked up and moved locations. I landed a contract with Citigroup and things went well for the first 2 years. Then Citi cut funding, and I was released back to FDM. I spent one month on the bench doing everything that was expected of me, and I interviewed when contracts opened up. One month in, out of the blue with no warning, I was told they were terminating me because they did not have any work coming up for my skillset. And as a reminder, my skillset was what they trained me to do. Like I had any control. Don't waste your time. Even if you are desperate, there are plenty of these dollar-store contracting firms out there and this one really does not care about their employees long term. They will over promise then under deliver. I said that twice to make sure it sinks in.
