Pros

Good office buildings Some genuinely nice colleagues

Cons

Toxic culture of bullying - staff bully, intimidate, ostracise and gaslight colleagues. This is done with impunity due to offender's favouritism with senior board members. Repeated complaints to HR and management generally fall on deaf ears. Frequent sexism - despite all FDM profess to do in the name of diversity and inclusion, CIS white male staff members frequently make sexist and derogatory comments about women. Casual racism and discriminatory speech - expect to hear CIS white male internal staff members voicing extremist right-wing and sectarian views, and mock the behaviours of individuals from minority and LGBTQ+ backgrounds. Results don't matter - those who make the most noise often receive recognition for the work undertaken by others. Nepotism – promotions offered to/positions of power held by family and friends of senior management regardless of these individuals actual experience or professional capability. COVID – senior board and management during the pandemic and lockdown have strongly encouraged the workforce to return to the offices, despite government advice against this. There was even a member of staff of died from complications from COVID 19 yet this was brushed under the carpet and a complete lack of empathy was shown.

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.
