Pros

- The training is pretty good, even though the technology they teach is outdated. - If you do a good enough job in the two years you've sold your soul to FDM. You can come out working for the client onside making considerably more money.

Cons

- The exact pay for your first year is $44,530. The second year is $49,530. - The benefits might as well be non existent - Once you go on site, that's it, you may as well not exist. No additional training, no employee investment, no ideas are taken into consideration. - If you look at FDM's 2018 financial statement, (all you have to do is google fdm-annual-report-2018, and scroll to page 37) you can tell how much FDM charges vs how little you get paid. - They pay minimum wage for training. They also will always tell you how lucky you are making 15 / hr because in the UK, they don't get paid for training. - If you're going for development, you're most likely going to get placed at a position. If you're anything else, it's gamble if you're even going to get a position. - If you get pulled offsite, in the interim, they will pay you $32,000 dollars a year (no matter if you're in the first or second year). - No incentive programs / opportunities to earn more. You're stuck with what you get.

Pros

Nothing. You get exposure to clients which is great but you are locked into a two year contract with them and if you chose to leave you get a five figure fine.

Cons

DO NOT sign the contract. Go to the Code Academy instead.
