Pros

- A good stepping stone for you to change your career path - Opportunity to take the Prince2 certification exam

Cons

- Being tied up the 2-year contract with ex - You basically have no say on the preference on role/company; whenever the client picks you, FDM will just want to place you as soon as possible - When the job market is not active, you may have to sit in the pond and wait blindly to get placed - The consultant's on-site support is very inadequate, please do not expect someone from FDM would help you

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.
