Pros

I trained in the Austin office. FDM provides you with about 15 weeks of Training in the Java stream. The material is covered quick, but I never felt like I was falling behind. You get training that will prepare you for your role with a client. They cover a lot of topics that you might not use in your placement, but they offer specialized training if you need it like if you were placed in a c# role your training would switch to that. They prepare you for interviews and help you get placed in a role on site with big clients. Good way to get that first two years of experience.

Cons

You have to be geoflexible. You will be told to go on interviews and if they like you, they get you. So you might be moving to New York or San Francisco without your pay adjusting to cost of living in these areas. It can be daunting, but roommates help. The pay isn’t that great in general, but it really seems to be about getting that 2 years of experience under your belt.

Pros

Monday through Friday schedule was nice. But if you didn’t put in at least a 10 hour day, you weren’t working hard enough.

Cons

Bait and switch. The company can’t even pay their bills! Do yourself a favor, don’t apply here for any position.

Pros

1) Provide you with some basic understanding on how IT environment works. 2) an Ok starting point if you do not have co-op experience before 3) oppo to stay in a big company with full-time offer after two years

Cons

1) two-year contract with low pay 2) All your vacation pay will be paid at the end of Jan in the next year. So if you use your vacation anytime during the year, you will not receive the full pay on that day, Only minimum payment 3) They do not care about your opinion towards the clients. You may be happy, may want to switch to another one, but they will try all their best to stop you and make you suffered there. Keep in mind, you're only a so-called full-time to them, kind of their products. 4) You potentially lose lots of good opportunities with the commitment in the two years. 5) Some of the account managers are trustworthy, some of them are not doing a good job.
