Pros

nice people young atmosphere two breaks in a day 15 minutes and one hour

Cons

lie to you about base salary don't have salary on contract only how you pay them not how they pay you can take up to six months to get placed can work up to six months 45 hours per week for free only cover 65 percent of health benefits make you sign four contracts day one before leaving the office and reading it over at home no free lunch you pay them and they don't pay you they only pay you 23,000 dollars per year once you get placed you don't get anything until you get placed. when you get placed it's an extra 88 dollars a day but only when you are placed, once done with project its back to $10.50 per hour.

Pros

Remote training is the only pro

Cons

FDM is a horrible company to work for. You get the bare minimum training, if you fail a weekly exam you get fired immediately they don't care. A couple of the secondary trainers are really nice and helpful however that was overshadowed by the main trainer being racist and sexist. If you survive the training you are "rewarded" with a "competitive" salary of £20k, they then sell you to other companies for £60k+ while you are capped at £20k. There is no job security as in their contract they state the can "in our sole and absolute discretion, terminate your employment at any time and with immediate effect" . Basically if their sales reps don't find you a placement quick enough they fire you because they mass hire and their training is so bad that you will be unable to get another job in that field with that "experience"

Pros

Base salary paid once you've been on site and have come back from client side. Meaning you can go from 25k to 20k once you are off the project. Certain in house staff members are really nice and genuine people Large list of client Basic training can land you a good role in a well known company if you are lucky. Good leverage after you have completed your 2 years

Cons

Many cons... 2 year contract tie in with ridiculous pay back amount if you leave early. Minimal benefits Could be placed on client site with a really bad client. - Has happened to many people. When in office you are micromanaged for the smallest of things. This will refelct bad when it comes to speaking to account managers. Some trainers are absolutely horrible people. Could be placed on client site doing a project completely unrelated to what you have been trained in. Need to approach account manager for roles and it feels like you have to beg to be put on a placement. If account manager does not like you/the look of you/your attitude or anything of the sort just know that any role that comes their way you are on the red list. Pay is not great I'll break it down for you: 20k base 1st year day rate: £19.88 - London (25k PA) £13.30 roughly - Outside of london (23.5k PA) 2nd Year: £28.88 - London (27.5k PA) £23.12 - Outside of London (26k PA)
