Pros

If there are any pros, it's not worth it.

Cons

- If you are hired by FD, then you can forget about these things: - Career Path - Proper training/mentor ship/ - HR system/ - short term goals and long term goals - - Although they attempt to convey a friendly company (from their random emails with baby staff news and such) , they have NO regard for their resources. This is ANYTHING but a friendly company. They use fear tactic to pigeon-hole you in a role. - Roles are assigned not based on skill-sets but based on what FD can sell you for - they change your profile to fit the positions they have open, and once you are placed, they forget you exist - If you ever decide to resign, they bully you and threaten to file a law suit against you & the company you will be going to work for - They need a 3 month resignation notice which makes it impossible to move to another job without having to fight FD or run the risk of being jobless for a while - They are cheap in EVERY possible way when it comes to paying out for your expenses Do not work for FD! They damage your career path, they make it absolutely nasty and difficult to change assignments or position, and along the way they damage your reputation.
