Pros

- Fun vibrant atmosphere - FDM gives people a chance that don't have any experience, but have the raw talent and skills. I came to FDM straight from University and it was a brilliant way to get my foot in the door at an expanding international organization. - Professional working environment and friendly work colleagues - Every day is different and dynamic - Great office space in Wall Street. I actually have a view of the statue of liberty from where I sit - Senior management value your opinons and you actually get to meet and interact with them - Social activities - Boat parties, pizzas in the office - International opportunites - Technical trainers in the NY office are of top quality - They really know their stuff!! - This is the only job I have every really enjoyed and I think this is down to the company culture and positve attitude of the people working at FDM

Cons

FDM does not just hand it to you on a plate. To be successful you need to be willing to work hard and take the opportunity seriously. However, success is rewarded and if you show that you have what it takes there is fantastic career progression. Also serious $$$ in years to come. You need to ok with starting at the bottom and working your way up the ladder.

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.
