Pros

Work for the best companies in the world, very easy recruitment process, gain good qualification, and meet a lot of people just out of university.

Cons

No pay until you are sent on client site, which can be more then the agreed 6 months. Management is selective on who they send on interviews. You might have to wait a long time before you get placed anywhere.

Pros

They can get you into industry jobs

Cons

As much as they can get you in, they can make you and I mean make you do any role even if you wanted to. Couple years ago, there was a role as the assistant to the assistant of the CEO at a bank, a timid female graduate was strong armed into taking that role. The sales staff known as “account managers” and their seniors all look down on the graduates, people are sent to places that they plead to not go to which falls on deaf ears. Consultants are lied to about roles and the locations just to get the sale. Consultants are seen as a product and dehumanised with an emphasis on if you speak up can mean that you are ‘difficult’ and essentially no account manager wants to put you forward for roles. Even account managers are treated poorly by senior managers. No Diversity at CXO level. New personnel required at CXO level to ensure people are treated better and better educated

Pros

Honestly cannot say much, their training is pretty well structured but also was completely obsolete for my placement. And you could definitely learn everything online. Decent pay I guess. Some of the others in my cohort seem to have got really decent jobs/placements out of it.

Cons

After being hand selected for a role (under some unknown circumstances, literally chosen for a role and did not interview with them), I was told the role required another month of training ( this was also completely useless ). I had no say in whether I did or did not want to be placed in this role. Even though my placement had been sorted, I waited another couple of weeks to actually get started. When I did get started at, let's call this company X, I was continuously passed between teams as it was clear they had no idea what I was there for. I was attending every meeting asked, and was asking what needed to be done - but got nothing from it. Especially difficult when you are working remotely. I spoke to FDM and X multiple times about my situation and nothing was done. After months (more than half a year), FDM updated their contract so that they didn't have me in a chokehold anymore and I could leave before servicing 2 years of work. I quit immediately.
