Pros

- Great stepping stone into IT - Great experience gained working on client site - Company has grown a lot over the years with more opportunities with clients

Cons

The con's mentioned by other people will suffice. The areas of improvement should by now be known. Having said this It's important to understand experience from one individual to another with vary based on various factors i.e role, personal situation, client they work for etc. Some people have had great experiences others people have had not so great but it's all subjective. To prospective graduates/ Employees i would say understand the business modal and the way the organisation operates.

Thank you for your feedback and I’m pleased to hear you are gaining some great experience. Your advice to prospective candidates is something I completely agree with and we spend a lot of time during the assessment process explaining our business model and the opportunities available to people who join us. We absolutely seek to create an environment that is accommodating and we do everything we can to support our people. As you will know our consultants work on site with our clients, therefore, they are required to adjust to the specific client environment. In many cases this does include flexible working hours and working from home, but it does depend on the project or specific delivery requirements of the client. I would welcome the chance to discuss this with you further, please contact me at Andy.Brown@fdmgroup.com

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.
