Pros

Fdm funds training, has a great group of colleagues to work with and is a comtinuously growing company that should allow me to develop my career as it evolves.

Cons

The salary is slightly below average, but will hopefully improve over time, and holiday allowance is lower than some employers offer.

Jonathan Young, CIO: Thank you very much for your balanced feedback. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the training with your peers and can see the long-term benefits to your career of working at FDM. I have taken on board your comments about salary and holiday allowance. It is something we are constantly reviewing in line with the current market. I am interested in your idea for regular catch-ups and would like to speak with you further so that I can understand how best to implement this. As I can see you are a current employee, please contact me and we can arrange a time to discuss.

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.
