Pros

Despite its sleek office spaces, budget constraints have forced the company to sell locations worldwide, resorting to temporary setups like rented hotel spaces and other short-term accommodations.

Cons

I worked at FDM Group for over five years, and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. Despite years of dedication, I received little to no recognition, and salary increases were practically nonexistent. The company claims to value its technical staff, yet in reality, we were treated as expendable rather than respected professionals. One of the biggest issues is the rampant nepotism within internal teams—if you're not part of the "family," career progression is nearly impossible. Favoritism drives promotions rather than merit or hard work. Additionally, I witnessed discriminatory behavior toward my Asian colleagues, which was deeply concerning and unacceptable. Leadership, particularly the COO, lacks the vision and integrity needed to create a fair and inclusive environment. If you're a tech professional looking for a company that will invest in you, recognise your efforts, and offer real career growth, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

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.
