Pros

I am a computer engineering graduate and I join FDM after I have graduated from my University. FDM provide opportunities for a fresh graduate like me to have opportunities to work in a prestigious financial institution such as Bank of America Merrill Lynch, UBS, Murex and BNP Paribas. My program was about 12 weeks, we have training on ExcelVBA, soft skills, Unix, SQL, Java etc. And you get to interact with colleagues from various proficiency in their University. The account manager will also prepare you for the interview to be placed on-site. We get paid for the training period and the actual salary will roll in after placement starts.

Cons

There is a 2 year bond with the company, in any term of resigning before completing 2 years of placement. You need to pay the training fee of up to around 40k. Fix pay without bonus.

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.
