Pros

Decent Training Program, floor design also looks nice.

Cons

While the material is good, some of the staff are terrible. Do not "rock the boat" with modern business idea's. Never speak about new business concepts or innovations. They want to sell you to almost only bank and bank-related companies who are run by very old school business ideals. If you go to the New York office they will put you in a tiny room, which you have to share with another person. There will be about 18 inches of closet space, almost no drawer space and only enough space for a few feet around the two tiny beds. Also, the AC is not centralized, the window units will often fail due to age. If you can tough it out like that, sure go for it.

Pros

Gets you in front of corporate clients - especially good clients in the finance/banking/energy industries Decent base training (or affirming you have the skills already for an entry level role) Good entry level tech role for those looking to get their foot in the door Pretty good benefits (especially for a contractor role)

Cons

Pay is a bit rough for first 2 years // training No guarantee on when/if you will get a role (still need to interview with FDM clients - helpful if willing to move around the country)

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.
