Pros

- Have some very big clients but equally have smaller clients. Roles with the more reputable clients are often hard to come by. - Good people on the ground, you'll be in the same boat as all - Some good account managers IF you make the time for them - Some good Academy Trainers - London office is in a good location

Cons

- Hit and miss on what client you go too. You won't have much option on what clients you are put forward too. You may not get a role in the area you trained in. - Basic salary of £20,000 then depending on location you get a daily bonus only when on Client site. - Geographically Flexible, you will have to move to the client - Some of the governance around procedures in Academy is very tedious and feels like you're back in school. - When on client site FDM should do more to check up on their consultants. - Some of the roles you are put forward for do not materialise. - When not on client site, you are still expected to go into office from 9am-5.30pm. Your attendance will be monitored.

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.
