Pros

Foot in the door at other companies if you've no prospects.

Cons

- You're stuck on a long contract for them and owe thousands if you want to leave before it ends for simple training that actually costs only hundreds. - Many colleagues I knew were docked holiday days whenever they were sick. (After complaining, some got the days back but still crazy that they had to complain.) - They also weren't paid when in-between contracts with end clients. - Low salary compared to co-workers in similar roles who were directly employed by the end client. Obviously FDM are making a large profit there.

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.
