Pros

The FDM training is a great way for recent graduates to get a foot into the door of the IT field, and prepares them to be working in a professional environment. Trainers are very friendly and helpful. They answer all questions you may have, are happy to provide help during free time, and are always willing to set up mock interviews with you. An abundance of resources, examples, information, and presentations are provided to help you through training, life on site, and beyond. Although opportunities are more abundant for geo-flexible trainees, opportunities are still plentiful for TriState only trainees. The location of the NYC office on Wall Street is easy to get to by public transportation. In person and email communication with account managers/trainers is very easy and open.

Cons

Training is very high paced, so it can feel a little overwhelming at times. Pay isn't on the same level as entry level positions at other companies.

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.
