Pluspunten

Placement. FDM Group has built relationships with financial firms that benefits any college graduate who are having trouble getting hired. Within 6 months (most with 3) the "consultant" will be placed on a high-end contract.

Minpunten

Support and transparency. During the initial 3 month training period FDM instructors motivate and inspire their students. The sales force takes the students and parades them in front of their clients as if they were on the streets of Vegas. Then the client accepts the contractor and the contractor moves on. The contractor is not a Full Time Employee of the client and there is no support from FDM Group. The contractor is a step child. During this exchange the contractor has no insight into the contract, its true duration and the process in general. The problem is that the contractor is treated like a rental car but told he is a valued product. Don't be glossy eyed. The contractor has a great opportunity to get a position with a high-end firm, but don't look for any perks or support until the contract is over. This is liken to an immigrant paying their dues to the coyote before they can appreciate their access to the USA.

Pluspunten

It is a job that pays.

Minpunten

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.
