Pros

Good training, easy interview and they have some great clients. For those who really want to go into IT only, you will need to suck up a minimum of 2 years plus training with them.

Cons

Unfortunately, its all downhill from there. Beware a lot of other reviews are written by HR and Account Managers not the Consultants. -Whilst they have great clients, they often place you with clients/locations you don't want and worse still you can be placed in roles that you didn't even train. (many developers have ended up in testing or support roles and vice verse) -pay is terrible with no rises in the base salary since 2012 -Never speak to HR without a Union rep even if they just want a "friendly chat" -Having said that, once you are on site, FDM don't care about you except for chasing on your timesheets. -Pay negotiations outside of 2nd year are terrible, HR are always bullshitting about how these are calculated...every negotiation includes the phrase "I will need to raise a case"

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.
