Pros

Easy Interview Process Stability provided while consulting

Cons

I'm writing this during pride month in response to FDM changing their logo to show their support for pride. FDM does not meet the values of pride. They have a strict dress code policy that discourages those whose choice of clothing does not match their gender and the feminine girls and masculine guys have preference over the butch girls and the femme guys. HR complaints about LGBT discrimination are ignored as a gay being a diva or a lesbian being sour.

I am so sorry to hear that you feel FDM does not meet the values of pride. Our intention is to encourage diversity and inclusion throughout our business, it is really important to us. I have recently joined the organisation as Chief People Officer and I take your feedback and the experience you share here seriously. I am pleased to personally support our LGBT+ Ambassador internally and a network has been formed to support the community. FDM is an inclusive company and one of the most diverse in our industry. We are always open to ensuring the experience of all our employees meets with our intention and commitments. Please be assured that I have heard this feedback and we are continually reviewing our policies and approaches to ensure that we are indeed an organisation where everyone feels welcome and can thrive. Paula Leach – Chief People Officer

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.
